South Florida-based comedian Carl Rimi is a favorite on Carnival Cruise Line and when on shore leave here in Sarasota thanks to regular appearances over the past decade at McCurdy's Comedy Club in downtown Sarasota. Rimi has been lauded for his rapid-fire delivery and observational humor. He has a great clip on YouTube, for instance, making fun of the nightclub scene and then the dangers of D.U.I.s, "dialing under the influence."
FYI: Chris Kattan's May 23 show at McCurdy's is sold out.
