a4ofspades Posted October 21, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I was reading Entertainment Weekly today and there was an article about Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham along with some pics of his puppets. I know I have seen him perform with one of those dummies and the memory does not seem to be of watching him on tv. I really feel I saw him live and it would definitely not be something I would purchase tickets for so I am wondering if I saw him on a ship???? I specifically remember seeing this dummy "grumpy Walter" and Dunham took him out of a suitcase. The personality was of a grumpy old man and was a very funny show. My grumpy old man (husband :)) says I am nuts and he never saw this show onboard. I have, however, been on two cruises without him so it could have been then. Any help would be much appreciated! Crazy?? Actual memory?? I did a search and found no references to this specific performer so it's starting to look like crazy! :eek: Thanks!

boxerdoglady Posted October 21, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2009 He was on our Valor cruise in '06, so you vary well may have seen him on a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a4ofspades Posted October 21, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thank you!!!! The old gray cells just ain't what they used to be memory wise but I was pretty sure I'd seen him live. Just wouldn't be something I would watch on tv although I do remember it being funny and I enjoyed it. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luluwa Posted October 21, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2009 My family was on the Conquest in late March this year and he was on it. He's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emelvee Posted October 21, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) Saw him once years ago at the Improv in San Diego (sometime in the 90s)...he's obviously "made it" now...estimated earnings of $30 million from 6/1/08 - 6/1/09. :eek: I'm surprised he'd still do cruise ships, but would love to see him again.

My husband's parents said they saw Jeff Dunham on a cruise several years ago before he became as famous as he is today. I dont think you are crazy!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a4ofspades Posted October 21, 2009 Author #10 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks so much for the replies...I'm not crazy yet!!:D For anyone interested in seeing him: EW lists him as the "must watch of the week" and he is on Comedy Central tomorrow (Thursday) from 9-9:30 pm. Nice that he is still entertaining on the ships at this point!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halos Posted October 21, 2009 #12 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Funny that you mentioned this. The first time I saw him on You Tube, I thought to myself, "I've seen that guy on a ship!!" To this day I don't recall which ship or even which LINE for that matter, but I knew I'd seen him on a cruise!! Glad to know I'm not totally insane. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMM Posted October 21, 2009 #13 Share Posted October 21, 2009 My teen would have loved to have seen him on a cruise! He is one of his favorites. You guys were lucky to have seen him. Will he be appearing again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted October 21, 2009 #14 Share Posted October 21, 2009 We have seen him on a Carnival ship some years ago. I don't begin to remember which ship....but we still love him.

jobster71 Posted October 22, 2009 #15 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'm pretty sure I seen him on the Conquest in 05. But you know I can't remember half of the shows I've watched. Too many cocktails.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike&Karren Posted October 22, 2009 #16 Share Posted October 22, 2009 We saw him on the Spirit in 2001. He was great then too!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebelle2010 Posted June 20, 2018 #17 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hi ~ I definitely saw him on a Princess cruise ~ I'm pretty sure it was either Panama Canal or Hawaii if that helps narrow it down. Such a great performer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BlerkOne Posted June 21, 2018 #21 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Call me crazy but I wish Carnival would go back to entertainment like this rather than the canned shows they do now. Looks like he's getting $45-$225/ticket in Las Vegas. No thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseGal999 Posted June 21, 2018 #22 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Looks like he's getting $45-$225/ticket in Las Vegas. No thank you. We spent $150 / ticket to see him in Oakland, CA. Seats were AMAZING and the show .... perfect. We were SO close to the stage and he had 'Little' Jeff ... I nearly fell off my chair laughing.

I know this is an old post, but just had to share....my Gammie (grandmother) loooooved Achmed. A video of her imitating him and laughing and laughing...well, it's a priceless memory for me, and reading your post gave me that smile. So thanks!
