Ralph checks in from the Carnival Luminosa, cruising the Alaska coast for the first time. But while the mountains are massive and the air is clear, the comedy gig is anything but wide open.
This episode dives into what it’s really like performing stand-up under cruise ship rules—tight schedules, limited freedom, and crowds that are more sleepy than rowdy. As the conversation unfolds, Ralph reflects on the 37-year journey it took to get here, what’s changed in his approach, and what it means to “arrive” when the destination still feels... kind of complicated.
In this episode:
🗻 Taking in Alaska (from the deck, mostly)
🎤 Last-minute set prep and cruise gig quirks
🛳️ A comic’s long road to something like success
