On Stage At Sea, with Liam Cooper

Bruce Mathiske, Concert Guitarist (AU)

High-energy rock to soulful ballads featuring iconic melodies and stunning original compositions.

Brendan Dooley, Comedy Magician (NZ)

In this episode I’m catching up with comedy magician, Brendan Dooley. This guy cooks up world-class magic, quick-wit comedy and insane mind-reading with a dash of cheeky pickpocketing and a side of audience participation to create the yummiest show you’ve ever tasted.  We talk about Brendan’s fascination with magic from the age of 5, managing a jam-packed schedule of working on both land and sea and making lemonade from lemons when things go wrong on a cruise ship contract.
