Each evening when you return to the Avalon Vista, Olivia Artists and local performers will entertain you in the lounge with comedy and music, and a chance to gather at the end of your days of spectacular explorations as we cruise along the Rhine. You will be joined by the uber talented musician and funny gal, Lisa Koch for night of belly laughs, and song. On other nights, American bilingual Latin-folk singer and songwriter, Gina Chavez will charm you. We know you will enjoy these shows!
Daft. Demented. #SNORT. Picture Tina Fey meets Bette Midler with Joan Jett’s guitar chops... and you’ve got Lisa Koch. An irreverent singer, comedian, out lesbian, and sober chick, Koch (“Coke”) is a deliciously twisted mix of comedy, theater, and tunes. She has recorded five solo CDs, is an alumnus of the quirky sketch comedy duo Dos Fallopia (Ham for the Holidays), and has shared the stage with the likes of Janis Ian, Kate Clinton, Lily Tomlin, Karla Bonoff, the Indigo Girls, and Steve Martin. She composed the off-Broadway musical 27, Rue de Fleurus, has been seen on LOGO and Olivia cruises, and actually had one of her songs sampled by Jay-Z. Lisa brings to Olivia her guitar, her wacky songs, and her musings on being a woman… from middle age to mammograms to singing vulvas.
