MISSION:
The Comics On Duty World Tour provides the highest "network-caliber" comedy
program to the U.S. Armed Forces, while affording host installations and
Commands with the cost saving benefits of a joint force, multi-market, turn-key
promotion. Our compact format is designed to reach both large and small
audiences and can travel to the most remote locations.
Produced exclusively for the military community by Rich Davis, Executive Producer
of the Davis Entertainment Group (DEG), the Comics On Duty World Tour features
national headline comedians and provides each host installation with all of the
necessary tools to produce a successful event.
HISTORY:
Since our first performance in 1992, the Comics On Duty World Tour has performed
nearly 3000 shows worldwide, boosting the morale of hundreds of thousands of
military personnel. To date, Comics On Duty has performed over 250 shows at more
than 80 different sites inside of Iraq and over 300 performances overall in Southwest
Asia, supporting both Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom.
Within the Continental United States (CONUS), Comics On Duty utilizes a routing
and group booking concept of joint force installations. In addition to the
unprecedented talent package, Comics On Duty provides turn-key "event-specific"
digital and print marketing support personalized for each performance.
The Comics On Duty World Tour always travels as a compact performance package,
providing the flexibility to reach multiple audiences in all types of venues -- no matter
where personnel are deployed around the world. From laugh'n lunch shows, to
dinner theaters, club performances, shows aboard ship and on the front lines, the
Comics On Duty World Tour can boost the morale anywhere in the world.
SUPPORT:
For host installations, the Comics On Duty World Tour brings a remarkable
comprehensive entertainment program, complete with stage backdrop, CONUS
sound & lights, and talent package consisting of national headline comedians. To
complete the show experience, Comics On Duty World Tour comedians sign
autographs, mingle with the audience and give out free Comics On Duty World Tour
patches or other memorabilia. Advanced performance marketing support is provided
to enhance the success of your marketing efforts for each event. This support
includes digital and print versions of promotional materials -- logos, flyer's, posters
and autograph cards. DEG will work with each host location to personalize the
marketing elements to insure continuity of the program visibility and highlight your
performance details. The marketing materials are produced in-house and are
included with the confirmation of a performance date.
TALENT:
The Comics On Duty World Tour Talent are selected based on a number of different
performance criteria, designed to provide a well rounded and successful
performance. Our comedians must exhibit a solid stage presence, have the ability to
perform a network caliber show and have extensive industry experience, including
national television credits on networks such as A&E, MTV, Comedy Central, HBO,
BET, Showtime; major club experience; and/or movie or television writing experience.
Shows generally present up to 4 headline comedians performing 20 to 30 minute
sets, which adds up to a solid 90 minute performance. The show content or rating is
designated by each host installation/unit and can be suited to any audience. While
Comics On Duty is designed to benefit a military audience, our standard show
content is consistent with a television PG-13 rating system.
FLEXIBILITY:
Comics On Duty offers each host installation a unique multi-show option, designed
to reach and entertain different audiences in different venues. While the multi-show
option is contingent on logistics, our performance flexibility can afford the ability to
reach more of your personnel. Over the past 16+ years, the Comics On Duty World
Tour has performed in a multitude of venues such as the O-Club, E-Club, NCO
Club, Community Center, Gym, Cafeteria, Theater, Outdoor Venues and tents,
aboard ship and at remote locations on the front lines.
The Comics On Duty World Tour has the talent, history and proven experience to
provide the Armed Forces with the best comedy experience anywhere in the world!
