CAMP VICTORY, Iraq – Service Members deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom gathered at the Camp Victory Green Beans Pavilion, April 8, to enjoy an hour of laughter as they listened to comedians with Comic's Ready to Entertain.
In an effort to reach all Soldiers at Victory Base Complex, Comedians Scott Kennedy, Gary Cannon and Julia Lillis performed eight shows at various locations within a two-day period.
Sgt. Keith J. Istre of Mermentau, La., with the Headquarters Company 256 Infantry Brigade Combat Team Brigade Special Troops Battalion Base Defense Operations Center had a positive reaction for the event. "I thought the show would be an interesting change from my daily routine," explained the chaplain's assistant. "I'm glad I went because the comedians were extremely funny; there was even a point where I could feel my face turning red from laughter."
"The show was absolutely hilarious and I really enjoyed it," said Warrant Officer 1 Todd C. Blanchard of Marksville, La., a vulnerability assessment team chief also with the 256th BDOC, as he waited in line for the comedians' autographs after the show.
Comic's Ready for Entertainment is hosted by the USO and is scheduled to return to Iraq for Troop support within the next couple of months. - 256 Brigade Combat Team
Julia is "funny, hip and cool"... "she does great work for the troops"... "she is very funny!" - Dennis Miller Radio Show
"Julia was one of the funniest comedians we've had at the University of Maine, she had everyone in stitches!" - Univ. of Maine
