Tom Drake delivers a high-energy, laugh-packed show filled with stories from his wild adventures sailing around the world — from sailing through a hurricane, to having his appendix removed in Greece, to being shot at by pirates in the Gulf of Aden.

Born and raised in New Jersey and the product of thirteen years of Catholic education, Tom brings a sharp eye and a slightly mischievous point of view to the stage. One reviewer perfectly summed him up as:

“An Attitude with a Tie.”

That blend of edge and charm has made Tom a favorite with audiences in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, major concert venues, and on cruise ships worldwide.

​

​

He's a favorite among the cruise lines and he has been a headline performer on Crystal, Oceania, Regent Seven Seas, Cunard, Silversea, Celebrity, Norwegian, Princess and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.
