Join us at 6pm to listen to comedian Jeff the Fun Dude Shaw! Jeff Shaw is a stand-up comic. His writing is marked both by idealism and humanity. His stimulating satire is often infused with a singular poetic beauty. More important, he looks like Rod Stewart. Over the past three decades, Jeff has performed nearly 10,000 shows across North America and the Caribbean, including a residency in Las Vegas. In 2009, Jeff helped launch the Punchliner Comedy Club chain for Carnival C...ruise Line, where he's known as Jeff "the Fun Dude," and was the club manager and house MC on the Carnival Dream until retiring from Carnival and returning to stand-up full time in August of 2017. In the 1990s, Jeff wrote popular comedic essays and feature stories for Cleveland's Scene Magazine, Buffalo's Art Voice, and the online comedy publication SHECKY! Magazine. Jeff is also a former staff writer for Cleveland's American Greetings Corporation, responsible for hundreds of funny greeting cards and novelty items for the company's Alternative Cards Department. In April of 2019, Jeff will be taping a comedy special for the Dry Bar Comedy Network. Jeff's hilarious first book, The Fun Dude's Guide to Cruising: A Humorous Handbook for Taking Your First Cruise and Living to Complain About It, is available now as a paperback and Kindle e-book on Amazon.
