How do I get schedule information on specific shows?
We make it easy. The calendar and menu of events are categorized by genre and region, right here on our site.
-
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.
Patrick DeGuire started performing stand-up after losing a significant amount of vision and discovering laughter to be self-therapeutic. Soon after getting started, he won the Improv/Harrah’s National Comedy Club Talent Search, which led to numerous appearances on national television, including Comedy Central and ‘Que Locos!’ on Galavision. DeGuire has been heard on nationally syndicated radio shows such as ‘The Bob and Tom Show’ and NPR. Patrick has performed or toured with such comedians as Tom Segura, Theo Von, Gary Owen, Tommy Davidson, Gabriel Iglesias, George Lopez and Paul Rodriguez. In addition to headlining at the top comedy clubs throughout the United States, he has also performed for the U.S. troops stationed overseas in the Bahamas, Bahrain, Caribbean, Cuba (Guantanamo Bay), Djibouti, Dubai, Greenland, Guam, Honduras, Iraq, Japan and Korea.
At age 16, Greg Morton got his first job as a public address announcer at a local department store. The same voice that grabbed the attention of shoppers went on to wow the judges on season 14 of “America’s Got Talent.”
Howie Mandel said, “I can’t believe there isn’t a banner with your name on it in Vegas!”
Since then, Morton has performed at and hosted “America’s Got Talent Presents Superstars Live” in Las Vegas at the Luxor Hotel. He also hosted “Mad Apple,” Cirque du Soleil’s latest hit show in New York City. You may recognize him from his multiple viral videos or Dry Bar Comedy special.
He has a new comedy album entitled “In the Future,” which is currently in rotation on Sirius XM.
Chingo Bling is known for his insightful, unapologetic stand-up comedy and multiple viral videos. He is a fearless, cross-platform performer who has appeared in everything from feature films and MTV shows to comedic web series, musical parodies, and sold-out live stand-up comedy shows all over the USA. Catch Chingo Bling’s comedy stand-up at the HA Comedy Festival, streaming now on HBO Max. You can also listen to his podcast, “Cafecito Time,” on all streaming platforms.
