Batten down the hatches and gather your seamen as comedy powerhouse Bob Downe takes to the high seas for a rollicking night of love and laughs around Sydney Harbour.
The all-singing, all-dancing, one-man comedy experience that is a Bob Downe show gets a nautical makeover on Sydney's Rhythm Boat for Bob's last performances of 2016. Proudly camper than a row of tents, Bob is the glittering crown prince of raucous, tongue-in-cheek comedy cabaret.

His Love Boat Cruise presents a three-and-half-hour sea voyage around the Harbour with a three-course meal provided, while Bob entertains audiences with his unique brand of song, dance and cheeky laughs. And while the sea can be a harsh and unforgiving mistress, with Bob at the helm, at least you know you'll go down with a smile. Here, we ask Bob how he plans on navigating the Love Boat Cruise shows.
What are your cruise ship shows all aboat?
Mainly trying not to fall overboard. You know how I dance! It can get pretty rough off Neutral Bay too.
Is your show suitable for buoys and gulls, or is it adults-only?
I'm mainly worried about large groupers. Especially if they're bucks or hens.
With your brand of stand-up comedy, song and dance, would you say your performance will be oar-inspiring?
Women and children first. Always. Then old rich white guys.

You're well-known for your wordplay and double entendres; give us your best nautical-themed pun.
I can't just come up with these things on porpoise you know. Don't bait me. Who do you think I am? John Cleets?
Is there a message in a bottle you'd like to send your fans prior to the shows?
H.E.L.P. M.E. I've washed up on Fort Denison.
