Sharing the common goal of supporting
the troops, Jennifer Rawlings and Danielle
Broussard are scheduled to bring the house
down with laughter, at installations throughout
Germany. These two comedians plan on bringing
to military personnel a little bit of home
through their comical routines on everyday
American life.
Rawlings, has entertained as many as
60,000 people and has opened for
renowned artists
Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and Lonestar.
Not only does Rawlings travel all
over the
United States with her act, she has also
entertained the troops overseas several
times, including two Iraq tours. What
she likes most about touring with
AFE and considers
important is the ability to reach out
to military personnel at remote
installations.
“
Jennifer Rawlings and Danielle Broussard
stage dynamic shows, bringing the troops
energy up and placing them in high spirits,” said
Air Force Captain Aubrey Semrau, Armed
Forces Entertainment circuit manager for
the European circuit.
“Military personnel
are always appreciative of entertainers
who share their talent as a means of support.”
A comic for 12 years, Broussard has
been featured on Last Comic Standing,
Late
Night with Conan O’Brien and VH1 All Access.
Having family members in the military has
given Broussard a greater understanding
of what the troops go through on a daily
basis and has driven her passion to perform
overseas.
A little known fact about Broussard
is that she is a talented ice
figure skater.
She considers one of her proudest
accomplishments to be when she
competed in the U.S.
Nationals.
“
I was proud to represent the United States
in international skating competitions and
I really appreciate the opportunity to
entertain the troops and contribute in
any way possible,” said Broussard.
Recently, Rawlings has been
featured on Comedy Central,
Tonight Show,
CMT, FOX,
PBS and a syndicated radio
show. She is also very involved
in
special projects
including a documentary on
women in foreign countries
and a children’s book.
Rawlings feels that being a mother is one
of her greatest achievements and challenges.
“
Being a part of this tour means so much
to me personally, because I have seen through
my travels how one person can have a tremendous
impact on many ,” said Rawlings “I
have a profound respect for the men and
women in our armed forces who have chosen
this as a career and I want to show them
my patronage.”
