Why do entertainers perform for the military?
Performers need to perform. It's in their DNA. Plus, going on tour with Armed Forces Entertainment is an opportunity for artists to give back and honor the sacrifices deployed servicemembers and their families make on behalf of our country. For up-and-coming artists, touring with AFE is a great way to build an audience. For established artists, it's an up-close-and-personal way to say thanks to fans.
-
How much do tickets cost?
It's FREE to attend every Armed Forces Entertainment show. Every single show, every single time.
-
Why are there occasional schedule changes?
Sometimes emergencies and personal challenges pop up for scheduled artists. Add the uncertainty of world politics, and tour agendas inevitably shift. We rush the updates to the effected venue and make changes to the online show schedule as quickly as possible. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen, and we're sorry for the inconvenience.

Can I invite non-military people to AFE events?
It depends on the rules of your installation. In general, yes, non-military guests are allowed at AFE shows. But military personnel are our priority.

Pedro Gonzalez is one of New York’s funniest comedians and the first Latino immigrant to perform on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Originally from Colombia, South America, he came to the United States at 20 years old with no papers, no money, and speaking no English—but through hard work and dedication, he became an international touring comedian with a following of more than 300,000 across Instagram and Facebook. He now lives in New York City with his wife, daughter, and mom, who helps to raise both the baby and Pedro.
