Since 1955 the World Famous Jungle Cruise has been home to the funniest people at the happiest place on earth. The Skipper Stand Up Show was created as place where these Skippers can show how talented they really are. Since its inception in June 2006, each Skipper Stand Up Show has sold out days before the big night.

The show features a volatile mixture of current and former skippers, hysterical videos, and other nonsense. It is unlike any comedy show that you have ever been too. Some of our Skippers have performed professionally while others will be taking the stage for the first time, without a script, and without management supervision. Each show has a combination of new performers as well as crowd favorities. The camaraderie bewtween the perfomers gives the audience a feeling of being in a giant party, which is a great way to end the weekend.

The show is held in the intimate cabaret setting of the Maverick Theater for one low price and no drink minimums, so you can sit back and enjoy the show. (The theatre does have a bar. These are Skippers after all). So get your tickets now, Trader Sam demands it! The Skipper Stand Up Show is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Walt Disney Company or any of its related companies.

He formally began his stand up career after spending three years as a skipper at the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland. Now that he is no longer under Eisner's control, he is free to swear on stage, but rarely does.
