Ktuluorion Posted December 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Correct - I was on the sailing that had their last show on the Breakaway, which ended 11/12. They confirmed that when we leave the boat, Second City leaves the boat forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Price31 Posted December 12, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted December 12, 2017 That’s too bad, they put on a great show. We’re they replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktuluorion Posted December 12, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 12, 2017 The cast didn't know what would replace them, all they said was that Second City would never be on NCL again, potentially another cruise line or more touring troupes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare luv2kroooz Posted December 12, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 12, 2017 They were replaced with Levity Comedy Group. It is basically two stand up comedians for the week that alternate shows.. They'll do shows at 7 (family friendly), 9 (PG-13), and 11 (adult only). A few weeks ago we had Alex Ortiz and Frank Townsend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinIllinois Posted December 12, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Glad they are gone. That was the most rehearsed "improvisation" I have ever watched. It was not good and I love that kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newmexicoNita Posted December 13, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I think they left about a month ago. well in my opinion, I am glad they left. We have seen them on a couple of NCL ships are a few times in Vegas: always enjoyed them until the Breakaway last April. They were worse than terrible in our opinion. I am sure some enjoyed the show, but we just thought it was boring and very silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYcruzzer Posted December 13, 2017 #10 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Glad they are gone. That was the most rehearsed "improvisation" I have ever watched. It was not good and I love that kind of stuff. Agreed. They certainly overstayed their welcome. I lost count how may times I saw their "BLOW UP DOLL" bit.

PelicanBill Posted December 15, 2017 #13 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The comedians, like the Howl at the Moon pianists, will be on short term engagements. As short as one cruise only - or sometimes a few. Don't count on anyone being there for long. Same with the magic shows, feature singers, etc. Only Rock of Ages (6 month engagements), Burn the Floor, and Arvin and Emily (permanently glued to the Atrium floor) are there long term.
