I think Ive found the perfect part time job for me. A Nanny. How hard could it be?
One relationship. Two separate bedrooms. Is that such a crazy idea? Oh, and I want a race car bed.
20 days, 19 shows, 27 flights, 10 beds slept in, 6 countries and 16 bases later I am finally home. Woohoo! It was an amazing adventure. We did shows in Abu Dhabi, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Krygyzstan. If you are planning a dream vacation I would avoid these places. Abu Dhabi is 90% humidity at all times. Oman isn’t as hot but its also a lot less fun to say than Abu Dhabi. Bahrain was awesome because we got to stay in a hotel and perform indoors one show. Advantage Bahrain. In Kuwait we got to stay at another hotel but Kuwait is a dry country, no alcohol. Boo! Advantage everywhere else. And Kuwait is ridiculously hot. I think the sun lives there. Afghanistan is awesome. I could totally summer there. Kidding. It’s motherfucking Afghanistan! We performed at 8 bases in Afghanistan. We were based in Bagram, thats the base the Seal Team that killed Bin Laden is based out of. Wow. We ended the trip in Krygyzstan which is actually quite beautiful.
This trip was by far the hardest I’ve ever worked in my comedy career. But more importantly, it was the greatest and most rewarding work I’ve ever done. It was truly an honor to meet these men and women and to perform for them. It always makes you feel good to make someone laugh but it was much different on this trip. These soldiers truly need to laugh. To have them thanking us after each show was something I’ll never forget.
Thank you to all the servicemen and women we met on this trip. Thank you for the sacrifice you make and the sacrifice your family makes. Keep doing what you do, its important work. Get home safe and come see me perform here in the states. Its cooler here and the pillows are much softer. HUA!
I am headed to the Middle East. I am not supposed to give the exact dates and locations so lets just say this month I am performing in the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan. I have no idea how dangerous this is or what I’ve actually gotten myself into here but I am about life experience. I promise to take lots of pictures and try to not get shot. Wish me luck.
