Don Barnhart’s Battle Comics Gear Up To Bring More Laughter To The Troops Around The World

DALLAS - Nov. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Picking up where Bob Hope left off, Don Barnhart’s Battle Comics are packing up to head back into Afghanistan, Iraq and Southwest Asia in early 2016 as well as Europe and the Pacific later in the year but need your help to continue providing quality entertainment to those serving overseas.

Don Barnhart’s experience as both a comedian and tour manager are un-paralleled as he has been entertaining and producing comedy shows for the troops since 1992.  Barnhart, himself an award-winning comedian was one of the first groups of entertainers to go into Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom and he and his team are experienced in “performing in the field”.

“I have seen what a laugh can do.  It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful.” – Bob Hope

Barnhart’s Battle Comics – World Tour is dedicated to bringing the highest caliber of talent to those serving in the military.  From comedy legend George Wallace to comedians from The Tonight Show, Conan, Comedy Central and more, Don Barnhart’s Battle Comics is considered the “A” list of comedy talent.

The Battle Comics – World Tour will feature  4 of the top comedians working today going to remote bases, ships and pretty much anywhere there are troops.  Unlike bands, comedy shows are the easiest to produce, travel light and can get in and out of the most remote locations with ease.  Often times, they have done show without the aide of a sound or light system.

Bryan "Bear" Patridge LTC, MP Commander tells of the importance of humor, “When I was in Iraq on my third tour, we had the comics come to our FOB (Forward Operating Base).  It was that one show that everyone knew they could come to and let loose and they were going to be entertained.  Humor is a stress reliever.  Combat zone or not, life for Soldiers is just plain tough at times.”

Barnhart and his team have performed on flight lines, aircraft carriers, in huts and on flatbeds.  The Battle Comics Tours have been to war zones and resorts, embassies and palaces and Don and his team have performed for The USO, Comics On Duty, Armed Forces Entertainment, DOD as well as producing his own individual tours.

In order to bring comedy shows to the troops, Battle Comics is in need of extra funding.  “The government only allocates a specific amount of money for their entertainment and when it’s gone, there are no more shows so we need donors of all kinds to help underwrite and support bringing more quality entertainment to those serving our country,” said Barnhart.

Brian S. Hornback, CMSgt, USAF wrote to Barnhart after one of his tours and said, “Your simple act of gratitude, support and dedication to the men and women in the United States Military not only defines what makes our country so great but remind us of what we're fighting for.  Simple acts go a long way in reminding everyone who wears a uniform of what's important. It is even clearer when celebrities take a moment to show their gratitude as you have so graciously done. Your contributions go a long way in showing us that you remember, as we do, that what we are fighting for is important. The value of your simple act cannot be overstated. The positive effects it brings on the men and women in United States Military are displayed daily by their continued commitment to serve even through trying times.”

By sponsoring a Battle Comics - World Tour For The Troop, your company, brand or logo will be seen by thousands of men and women in the United States Armed Forces who are some of the most appreciative and loyal audiences ever.

Bringing a piece of home to those serving their country overseas goes a long way and these audiences are grateful, sharing their experiences to their loved ones at home.   Along with the good will that your company will create, you’ll be associated with your “Support Of The troops” and branded with the “All American” image.

Your additional funding will help cover production costs, securing logistics including travel, accommodations, obtaining the highest caliber of talent as well as providing giveaways with your company’s logo.   Depending on your level of sponsorship, you brand or logo will be featured on show banners, tee shirts, autograph cards, other promotional giveaways and on our website and more.

Battle Comics has the unique ability to showcase your product to the men and women serving their country and we will document the tours with our photographer/videographer taking pictures and videos with the troops in front of your company’s logo or wearing your brand.

The news media are constantly running stories on the life of soldiers and having your brand or logo displayed in these feel good stories will help to increase your products trust and likability.  Many of comedy tours have been covered by CNN, Star & Strips as well as other local, national media and the worldwide press.

Troops stationed overseas generally wear their uniforms 23 hours out of the day so a new tee shirt goes a long way and are highly coveted.

Please join us and Support The Troops by sponsoring a tour and bringing a piece of home to those dedicated American’s protecting and serving our country.
