Tour FAQs
  • 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

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, leading to numerous appearances on national television, including Comedy Central, “Comics Unleashed” on CBS, and “Que Locos” on Galavision. DeGuire has been heard on nationally syndicated radio shows such as “The Bob & Tom Show” and NPR. DeGuire has performed and toured with such comedians as Tom Segura, Theo Von, Gary Owen, Tommy Davidson, Gabriel Iglesias, George Lopez and Paul Rodriguez. Besides headlining at the top comedy clubs throughout the United States, he has also performed for U.S. troops overseas in Australia, the Bahamas, Bahrain, the Caribbean, Cuba (Guantanamo Bay), Diego Garcia, Djibouti, Greenland, Guam, Honduras, Iraq, Japan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates.

DeGuire’s material includes the advantages and disadvantages of living in a world with limited vision and the challenges that arise from it. DeGuire discusses the obstacles of relationships and being a father and stepfather to eight children. He also addresses an assortment of other insightful and hilarious topics.

Matt Golightly

A successful comedy club comedian for many years, Matt Golightly’s act is incredibly quick-witted, with a stage presence that is second to none.

Golightly is currently an opening act and a creative consultant for Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias and the “One Show Fits All Tour”. Golightly has earned an associate producer credit on his television show on Fuse TV/Hulu, “Fluffy’s Food Adventures” (formerly called “Fluffy Breaks Even”). Golightly was also a creative consultant for Iglesias’ Netflix specials, “I’m Sorry for What I Said When I was Hungry” and “One Show Fits All”. Impressive performances in the Funniest Person in Austin contest and the San Francisco Comedy Festival led to appearances on “The Bob & Tom Show” and Fox.

Golightly is known in the industry as one of the most consistently funny comedians on the comedy club circuit. His talent has taken him coast to coast and worldwide, entertaining our troops. His quick wit, relatable material and very likable stage presence have garnered him many fans in the comedy world, as well as broad appeal among a wide demographic. Golightly is continually amazed at the range of people from all walks of life who have stopped to tell him how much they enjoyed his show. Come and see this self-proclaimed square and everybody’s next-door neighbor, who happens to be hilarious.
