Joshua & Shannon (Cirque Dreams World Tour)
Jan. 17, 2011

I just wanted to write you a quick note to say thank you for doing the Cirque Dreams world tour for the military troops. We are stationed in Yokosuka, Japan and our family had the pleasure of watching the amazing show last night for free on our base. The performance was just wonderful and we are still in awe by the talent of the cast. So many of our Navy families loved the show and enjoyed a night at the theatre, something that is very difficult to do here because of the extremely high cost here in Japan. Thank you again!

Natasha (Standup For America Tour)
Dec. 7, 2011

My name is Natasha and I'm currently deployed at Manas, Kyrgyzstan - this is my first deployment. I just wanted to say that I know that Armed Forces Entertainment brings out cheerleaders for the guys and everything and I'm pretty darn sure they appreciate that, but I wanted to thank you for providing entertainment that everyone can enjoy. I just had one of the roughest weeks since I've been here and Tommy Davidson and Dante Carter had me laughing so hard I was crying - my cheeks were in so much pain! The show was amazing and for them to take the time out of their schedules and come support the troops was truly a gift to us. Our base has troops coming from down range on their way home and troops about to head down range. Our base is one stop where the troops can kick back and relax and feel safe, if even for a brief moment. I truly feel that this show just let everyone forget about everything for a few hours and laugh and be happy. Laughter is what they need and what I really needed. So thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing them out here and making us laugh and have a wonderful night!!!!

Thanks Armed Forces Entertainment! I haven’t laughed that much in years! Tommy Davidson and Dante Carter were straight-up hilarious - folks were talking about them all week and many of our Airmen were complaining that their insides hurt from all the laughing. Many thanks from the fans out here in Southwest Asia!

I want to say thank you to Armed Forces Entertainment for sending the Thanksgiving Comedy Show featuring Tommy Davidson and Dante Carter. This was a great show and a much-needed laugh during a tough time. It means a lot to know that entertainers will take time away from their own families and bring a great show abroad. For a minute, I thought that I was back home in a Comedy Club. I look forward to future entertainment. Thanks again.

I just wanted to thank Armed Forces Entertainment for sending an amazing Jazz group to Diego Garcia. They gave us something different to listen to and opened a lot of people up to some good Jazz/soul music - they played amazing music for the young and old. Every time the Stanley Baird Group performs they put their heart and soul into every song, which is very rare these days. They even got the audience involved, people were dancing and having a good ol' time. These types of shows remind many people of home, so I can’t wait for them to come back! Listening to some relaxing music is exactly what this island needs. I really hope that Armed Forces Entertainment sends them back ASAP. But, until then, at least I got the chance to see one of the GREATEST JAZZ BANDS to ever come to Diego Garcia.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Stanley Baird Group. Man, they know how to put on a show and they knew how to JAM!!! Even people that don't listen to jazz were talking about how good they were and planned to go hear them on their last night. The only problem was that the band was not able to perform on their last scheduled night - hopefully they will not be cut short the next time they come!

Thanks to Armed Forces Entertainment for sending such an AWESOME, SOUL-INSPIRING jazz group to Diego Garcia! I attended nearly every one of their performances and, I must say, the experience was PHENOMENAL and SO REAL! My friends and I had an amazing week knowing that at the end of the day we could unwind to some smooth jazz. This has truly been the best group to hit the island during my tour and I truly hope to see them again in the States. It really means a lot to be in the presence of quality entertainment when you're over 10,000 miles away from family and friends. I wish the Stanley Baird Group continued success and many blessings on all their future endeavors. Thanks again for shining your light on Diego Garcia!

I was in Afghanistan at Bargram Air Force Base and caught the All Star Comedy Revue show. It was truly amazing and the DJ there was awesome; we had such a good time. Thank you Armed Forces Entertainment, for the quality entertainment your organization brings to the table (P.S. This was a show every base around the world needs to see). Thank you!

On the second night of the Ride the Alps event at the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort, Armed Forces Entertainment sponsored Slant. Slant is a hard rocking band from L.A. and they completely owned the night. This was my fourth time participating in the Ride the Alps event and it was the first time I actually cared about the band. They blew the doors off all the previous bands. I was amazed. A large group of us stayed up with the band until 2 AM. They played and we rocked. It was one of the best times I have had in a long time. I cannot say thank you enough. The guys in the band are all very talented musicians and, after talking to them, they are all really nice people. Armed Forces Entertainment, all I can ask is that you bring them back for the Ride the Alps event next year.

Thanks!

Hey guys! Thanks for letting us play for the Armed Forces. We had such an amazing time. Every country was so beautiful and the people were awesome. The troops rocked with us - we had some of them come up and play along with us. It was fun! I would wake up every morning and think to myself, "I'm loving life being able to play with awesome crowds and traveling the world." Thanks again...it's very much appreciated and we would love to continue to play for the Armed Forces around the world. Thanks : )

You guys put together an excellent show with No Laugh Track Required IV. Everyone here in Stuttgart loved the show. I will definitely be looking forward to the next show. On behalf of all of us, we definitely appreciate you bringing a taste of home here to Germany; and how much you support the troops.

Just wanted to pass on my thanks for allowing this great bunch of comedians to come over and entertain us in Belgium. I had a great time, as did everybody in the audience, judging by the roars of laughter the entire night. The comedians were great and, after the show, stayed around to chat with those of us who stayed behind and signed autographs and shared a beer or two as well. It would be great to see them again in the near future. A big thanks to everybody involved!

Wow, did we have a great time with your Heavy Medal Heroes...they are awesome! Seriously, it was a great pleasure and honor to host them. The Marines really got a kick out of meeting world-class athletes and great Americans.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Heather Marie Zagone and her "No Laugh Track Required IV" group (Todd Rexx, Rosie Tran, Johnny Cardinale and Justin Wade). I hadn't laughed that hard in YEARS! I left their show with my sides hurting. They took time after their show to sign autographs, take pictures with folks and just simply chat. Great humor, down-to-earth attitude, and friendly! THANKS for serving our nation and troops!

Heather Marie Zagone and her crew of comedians came to Bamberg, Germany last week, and we haven't had a good laugh in almost a year! My husband and I used to frequent comedy clubs a lot when we were living stateside, and we loved it! We would also love it if they would come back more often, Heather and the rest of the comedians were all great and we would like to see more of them around.

I would like to express my sincerest gratitude for your work in putting such a great show on for those of us stationed in Stuttgart, Germany. Your stop at Patch Barracks was more than welcome. Honestly, I laughed so much that my face still hurt the next morning. Heather and her HMZ Comedy troop did an amazing job and I can only hope to get the chance to see them again.

I just wanted to send a big THANK YOU from ALL of us here in Baumholder, Germany. All the wives here really did need a laugh and you all made it happen. Glad you took the time to come out and show your support. Hope to see you all again soon. Thank you again and keep on doing what you do :-)

Thanks a lot guys, this was awesome and I didn't hear one bad thing from any of the guys or gals after the show was over and we walked back to the barracks, lol. You really had my cheeks hurting and I will recommend you to anyone. Nothing like bringing good ol’ humor from the States that we miss. Again, thanks a lot and keep hitting those military bases, we love you guys.

I just wanted to thank everyone at Armed Forces Entertainment for another amazing tour. This was our fourth tour with you and each time it gets better and better. We went out in celebration of “Month of the Military Child” and boy did we celebrate. The crowds were bigger than ever and the families were delightful. It’s such an honor to be associated with your great organization and to allow us to bring our form of entertainment to the children of our military personnel. We owe so much to the men and women who protect our great country that it’s our pleasure to be able to bring smiles to their kids’ faces. This is something I don’t think any of my group would ever like to see end. So just tell us where you want us to be next and we’re there. Until next time... ROCK ON!!!

Fall Back Plan (Fall Back Plan)
April 19, 2011
Touring for the world’s most appreciative audience is certainly the absolute BEST way to describe our experience! Our recent tour to Korea was not only AWESOME but also spiritual and rewarding. Fall Back Plan performed 6 days in a row, rockin’ stages on bases throughout South Korea. The gratitude, love and appreciation from everyone we met were truly touching. Everyone had a blast! We had the troops crowd-surfing, singing and even coming up on stage to “jam” with the band. It feels good to know we can use our talent to bring light to those who serve our country. We gained a ton of new fans but more importantly we made a bunch of new friends. We are grateful for the opportunity and will continue to support Armed Forces Entertainment!






James Miller (Off Road Truck)
April 4, 2011
The Off Road Truck Tour came to our base on April 3rd. The event was scheduled to start at 1400 and we had over 30 drivers/spectators at our track well before 1300. When the tour crew showed up at 1400, the energy level climbed. Chad, Mike and Scott were awesome. They talked with everyone and gave encouragement to all. We had fun watching the soldiers running their R/C trucks - everything from a huge HPI Baja 5T to 1/16 E-Revos. The most popular vehicle by far was the TRAXXAS Slash 4x4. The final race was incredible!

This was the best event that I have seen in the year that I was at this location. The pro drivers were all very friendly and welcoming the entire time. The crew did an awesome job with the entire event. I truly hope to see more events like this one in the future. Thank you again for a great time!

I had the pleasure of seeing the No Laugh Track Required II comedy show in Diego Garcia, BOIT. The comedians were extremely funny, took what they had seen of the island or stories that they heard from us and put it in their show. They were all funny, cool and friendly. I hope that one day I get to see them perform again.

Marine Reid (No Laugh Track Required)
March 21, 2011
I am a British Royal Marines Commando based at a U.S. Naval facility in Diego Garcia. I recently had the pleasure of seeing a group of comics titled “No Laugh Track Required II” perform here and I wanted to say what a great morale boost it was to have such talent come all this way to perform for us.

Such a down to earth group of guys who really did boost moral on the island! It can be tough for a lot of service personnel being away from home for such a long periods of time and it’s the small things that make it bearable!

Heather Marie Zagone, in particular, was awesome - the way she used her experiences on the island and turned them into jokes was incredibly talented.

I know you cater for the U.S. Armed Forces and I am sure they will agree with me - thank you for all you do!!!

Adam Hunter (Adam Hunter Comedy Tour)

I just wanted to thank you for the amazing experience. The troops were unbelievable, the shows were awesome, everyone was so great to us - it really was the trip of a lifetime. I have such a high respect for you and everyone in the service and it was an HONOR to make them laugh. Thanks for the opportunity - I truly hope that there will be more to come.

Tammy (Terrence Garrick)
February 26, 2011
What a great motivational message Terrence Garrick gave on Friday, February 18, 2011. It was perfect timing for us, as motivation can dip a little after the holidays. His passion and talent were on point. Terrence was able to draw us all in, some way or another. If anyone left without something to think about - they lost out. He told us to dream big but focus small, which is exactly what we work to do daily. Keep bringing the talent to Italy - we appreciate it!

Barbara (Privately Booked Event)
February 25, 2011
Thank you Quincy Carr! 2010 USAF IG Holiday Party was fortunate enough to hire comedian Quincy Carr to perform for 60 people in Virginia. We thoroughly enjoyed him and his staff, his entertainment and their company during the party. We highly recommend Quincy Carr for your next entertainment event. He will tailor the jokes appropriately, whether you wish to have clean humor or are open to discretion. Thanks to Armed Forces Entertainment for the chance to find a quality entertainer!

Tommy (Ray, Goodman and Brown)
February 1, 2011
Just wanted to let y’all know that Ray, Goodman and Brown performed here on Friday and were great! It is so special to get a fantastic group with their talent to take time to stop by and give us an A+ show. Although we were a small group, they performed as if they were with a larger crowd. Billy, Kevin and Ice were so personable and took time out to speak with whoever wanted to and signed as many autographs as the fans wanted. We couldn’t have asked for a better group to perform. I am so grateful that you were able to bring a little taste of America to us. I look forward to more Armed Forces Entertainment shows and believe that shows like this improve morale at geographically separated units like ours.
