Carnival’s Comedy Benefit Raises Over $12,000

Carnival Cruise Line held a benefit recently for Kids in Distress of Broward and Palm Beach counties.  The Fort Lauderdale Improv was transformed into the cruise line’s Punchliner Comedy Club for the night as part of a special fundraiser that raised over $12,000 for the cause; a 20% increase over the amount raised last year.

The funds will be used to aid Kids in Distress, a nationally accredited agency working toward the prevention of child abuse, preservation of the family, and the treatment of neglected and abused children.

Carnival’s Punchliner Comedy Clubs are featured aboard all 24 of the line’s fun ships, with a lineup of laughter-inducing men and women each voyage.  It’s estimated that the club hosts upwards of 20,000 shows a year fleetwide.
