Harvey the Corpsman warms up the crowd appropriately with a bevy of bad jokes and amusing anecdotes about his visits to the head.

The Bilge Pumps did half their shows at the West India Dock by the tall ship Elissa and were filling the upper deck seating.

Blue monkeys around the gangplank with an actual monkey!

Maroon and the Captain of the Elissa try to find a way to stick a ribbon magnet to the side of the ship.

Afterwards, he even allows us up on the quarterdeck of the grand lady to perform our last show there. He does know we're pirates, right?

Of course, the group takes advantage of any chance to get their pictures taken... except for Phil, who wants to be our new jolly roger.

This time, when Galleon drops to the deck to flop like a fish, he actually has a deck!

Would someone plase tell John Crow that the audience is supposed to be on the other side when we perform?

The crew claps onto one of the Elissa's lines and heaves away. Notice the Shantyman's not in there doing any work? Of course not! He's singing!

Phil McGroin flies across the stage on "Johnny Jump Up", taking out 2 mic stands, a drum, and a half-naked bum named Lefty.

Harvey demonstrates to Galleon his o-so-perfected pudding eating and smearing technique.

The Ghost of Phil McGroin does a lil' dance on deck. Looks more like he's trying to air out his pants.

Apparently, someone at the dock knew we were coming.
