TM For Immediate Release The Red, White and a little Bluer Comedy Tour is going through a line-up change.  We are committed to having the best comics on tour this year.  Stay tuned, 2010 RWB is going to be awesome. The Red, White and a Little Bluer Comedy TourTM was initially created by Baja Productions and its founder, Cowboy Bill Martin, to tour military installations across the globe.  "I do a toast to the military in every show and now it was time to take the show to them," said Martin.  And this is not just another typical comedy tour.     "I wanted a tour with people who were connected only by their convictions, not their color of skin, clothes or heritage.  I wanted a tour that America could embrace, not just segments of it.  This tour resembles more of what America is really like—a melting pot.   When I embarked on putting this tour together, I did not do it with the "Hollywood casted show" mentality, i.e., we need one person who represents this and one who does that.  The criteria to be on this tour were simple.  1.  You had to be funny.  2.  You had to be opinionated.  3.  You couldn't be a "stereo-typical" anything and 4. Each member had to be very competitive which can push the show to the highest level.   But the bottom line is, it works!   The Red, White and a little Bluer Comedy TourTM has already done a USO/Armed Forces Entertainment World Tour and it went off spectacularly getting 16 standing ovations out of 17 appearances there.  And both the comedians and the Armed Forces Entertainment directors couldn't have been happier.             "The accolades still keep pouring into my office two months after they toured.  They made a lasting impression on the troops and the installations."  -- Col. Edward Shock, USAF, Chief Directorate AFE             "I can't say enough about the importance (their) show had on morale here.  These Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers and Marines selflessly spend months and even years away from their friends and family. And sometimes all we have left is laughter...and man did (they) make us laugh. Many, many thanks from your friends in Qatar." -- Lt. Col. Paul Kopecki, USAF    As you know, shows for the military are a microcosm of America.  In the audience is every race, every social and economic background, every religion, every gender and every sexual orientation.   But because of the tour's diversity it means everyone in the audience can relate with at least one of the members, if not all of them.  Since then they have received several emails from our Men and Women who were serving over there and came to see our show.  And this is just some of the things they had to say...             "I saw you tonight at Arifjan. Haven't laughed that much during this tour here in Iraq. November 9th on my birthday and far away from family. Your humor really made this deployment for me."  - Petty Officer First Class, James Sveen, U.S. Navy             "Hi there, we had a comedy show of 3 tonight and everyone said how terrible they were and they didn't even come close to your show. We all miss you guys."  -First Sergeant, Lynette Harshman It to my knowledge it is the first time that 4 different people with 4 different backgrounds and 4 different perspectives on life, who are not stereo-typical in our individual stage shows, combined to take on things like Religion, Politics, Social and Economical Issues.  Its "smart and it is funny".  The Red, White and a little Bluer Comedy TourTM is in the works for touring Casinos, theaters and other military installations throughout 2010 and is working on a documentary that will be made for television.
