Social media star, podcaster and author Ashley Gutermuth returns to Armed Forces Entertainment (AFE) with comedian Helen Wildy and vocalist and entertainer Jordan Gonzalez for “Ashley Gutermuth and Friends.” The tour, which features five shows at bases across the Pacific and Western Hemisphere, runs October 9-17, 2024.
Gutermuth is a stand-up comedian, podcast host and actor. She appeared on the “Tonight” show with Jimmy Fallon, where Jerry Seinfeld chose her to win the “Seinfeld Challenge.” Gutermuth regularly posts on social media, and her hilarious videos of her stand-up and life as a spouse of a U.S. military servicemember exceed 700 million views.
When not performing stand-up or advocating for military families, Gutermuth is usually running and has a daily running streak spanning more than 9 years!
New York City-based Helen Wildy was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Wildy weaves her experiences of growing up an immigrant, coming out to her Irish family and still identifying as a Hanson fan 25 years after it was cool into her witty, sweet and jovial comedy.
Helen has opened for loads of her favorite performers, including Maria Bamford, Dave Attell, Moshe Kasher, Cameron Esposito and Wil Sylvince, to name a few. In January 2023, she recorded her first album, “Bomb Threat,” with Helium Comedy Records, which can be heard on Sirius XM.
As a vocalist, comedian and storyteller, Jordan Gonzalez has entertained audiences at clubs such as the Comic Strip Live, Candlelight Comedy Club and the Comedy Cellar in New York City. Justin has had the honor of sharing the stage with some of the most renowned comedians in the industry, such as Jason Pollock, Mark Riccadonna, Julia Scotti, Don Jamieson, Christy Miller, Rob Bartlett, Ashley Gutermuth, John Fugelsang and Colin Quinn.
He has also performed with some of the best classical and popular music acts in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris and the Margravial Opera House in Bayreuth, Germany.
Since 1951, AFE has been steadfast in its commitment to boosting the morale and well-being of service members and their families stationed overseas through world-class live events and performances. This enduring dedication is a testament to our unwavering support for our military families.
