         <description>My name is Don Barnhart and I am an award winning comedian, published author, filmmaker and actor from Las Vegas, NV. My company, Don Barnhart Entertainment is producing comedy shows to "Support The Troops". I am sending you an opportunity to become a corporate sponsor for the upcoming "2010 Don Barnhart Comedy Tour Entertaining The Troops Around The World". 

This is a series of two-week tours running each month all year long and will run both domestic and overseas reaching up to 500,000 personnel at the 270 military installations around the globe. The importance of these performances brings a piece of home to those stationed far away from their loved ones. 

The Don Barnhart Comedy Tour - Entertaining The Troops Around The World will be going to Bahrain and The Persian Gulf Sept 3-16th, 2009.

We will be entertaining the troops and doing shows in Bahrain and then flying out the the ships sailing in the Persian Gulf. We are currently looking for a few more co-sponsors to help with travel expenses. Your name or company logo will be featured on the show banner, posters and autograph sheets.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedy" rel="tag">comedy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/sponsor" rel="tag">sponsor</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/uso" rel="tag">uso</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/entertaining+the+troops" rel="tag">entertaining the troops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedy+shows" rel="tag">comedy shows</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donbarnhart.com/&quot;&gt;

Armed Forces Entertainment will sponsor the Don Barnhart comedy tour, which will perform for troops stationed in Bahrain and The Persian Gulf Sept 3-15, 2009.

The tour will base in Bahrain and the comedians will fly out and land on the ships stationed in the Gulf. Barnhart joked, Weâ€™ll get to tailhook on an aircraft carrier. Last time I did that, I saw my spleen shoot out of my mouth and now I have a tail.â€ Capri added, Landing on an aircraft carrier makes Magic Mountain a place for sissiesâ€.

Barnhart is one of the top comedians working today. He is an accomplished actor, writer and director with numerous television and film credits including NBC, Comedy Central and MTV.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedy" rel="tag">comedy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/bob+hope" rel="tag">bob hope</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/uso" rel="tag">uso</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/military" rel="tag">military</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedians" rel="tag">comedians</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/booking" rel="tag">booking</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/afe" rel="tag">afe</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/" rel="tag"></a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donbarnhart.com/&quot;&gt;

         <description>Starting in 2010, The Don Barnhart Comedy Tour will start a year long stand up comedy tour that will entertain the the United States Military personal stationed around the world. This is a series of two week tours running each month all year long and will run both domestic and overseas reaching over 500,000 personnel at the 270 military installations around the globe. The importance of these performances brings a piece of home to those stationed far away from their loved ones. 

Entertainment has always been one of the biggest morale boosters for the US Military and thousands of performers have served as a welcome sight to the millions of service men and women. Almost everyone has a family member, relative or friend serving in the military.

War and combat is one of the most stressful things a soldier will face and although they train for it, it's not always easy. Right now, we are seeing a huge increase in suicides for the soldiers and providing comedy shows for the troops is just one of the many ways our government is trying to deal with this tragic issue.
  
It has been said that, That laughter is the best medicine.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Bob+Hope" rel="tag">Bob Hope</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/USO" rel="tag">USO</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Comedy" rel="tag">Comedy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Military" rel="tag">Military</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Morale" rel="tag">Morale</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/Troops" rel="tag">Troops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/" rel="tag"></a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donbarnhart.com/&quot;&gt;

Nationally acclaimed award winning comedian Don Barnhart is fast becoming one of the next big comedy stars and makes his way back to his hometown of Las Vegas And Will Appear At The Improv July 28-Aug 2, 2009

Award winning nationally acclaimed comedian Don Barnhart makes a special appearance at The Improv Comedy Club July 28-Aug 2, 2009. Barnhart moved to Las 
Vegas several years ago to pursue his dream of comedy stardom. And dreams do come true as Barnhart is fast becoming a regular household comedy name and was just nominated by fans as the 2009 Best Comedian in Las Vegas. 

Barnhart's comedy name is truly taking off as past winners of the Best Comedian of Las Vegas include George Carlin, Rita Rudner, Carrot Top, George Wallace and Louie Anderson. I'm just thrilled to have my name associated with such comedy greats and legends as I'm still a huge fan of them all and try to see their shows when I'm not performing my own.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedy" rel="tag">comedy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/improv" rel="tag">improv</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/las+vegas" rel="tag">las vegas</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedians" rel="tag">comedians</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/humor" rel="tag">humor</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/stand+up" rel="tag">stand up</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donbarnhart.com/&quot;&gt;

         <title>Don Barnhart Entertainment Seeking Sponsors To Help Provide Comedy Shows To Lift Soldier Morale</title>
         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Don-Barnhart-Entertainment-Seeking-Sponsors-To-Help-Provide-Comedy-Shows-To-Lift-Soldier-Morale/616692</link>
         <description>Award winning comedian Don Barnhart is seeking more corporate sponsors to help serve up the laughter to lift the spirits of the troops stationed overseas and Barnhart serves up the comedy to entertain the troops and help fight the increase in soldier suicides and is seeking corporate sponsors to help fund the ongoing comedy tours.

War and combat is one of the most stressful things a soldier will face and although they train for it, it's not always easy. Right now, we are seeing a huge increase in suicides for the soldiers and I believe that comedy can help to relieve some of the pressure and stress these soldiers are facing. 

It has been said that, That laughter is the best medicine. It also turns out that comedy can be a preventative medicine as well. There is a huge increase in the number of suicides by soldiers and providing comedy shows for the troops is just one of the many ways our government is trying to deal with this tragic issue. 

For years, comedians have been entertaining the troops.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedy" rel="tag">comedy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/miltary" rel="tag">miltary</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/corporate" rel="tag">corporate</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/sponsors" rel="tag">sponsors</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/entertainment" rel="tag">entertainment</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/suicide" rel="tag">suicide</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donbarnhart.com/&quot;&gt;

         <description>Award Winning Comedian Don Barnhart causes pregnant audience member to laugh so hard that her water breaks and she delivers a baby girl. 

While performing in Oregon last August, award-winning comedian Don Barnhart made Jacquee Arzadon laugh so hard that her water broke and she delivered a baby girl later that evening. 

The new mother said, "It was probably the best comedy night we ever had and when I got up I realized my water broke." Barnhart had just returned from being selected for the Comedy Festival in Montreal and was the Featured Comedian on MySpace, when he stopped into headline in Grants Pass, OR. 

Owner and Comedian Juan Kanopiii said to Jacquee, "We're gonna make you have that baby" then Barnhart took the stage and knocked it out of the park for an hour and a half show and when all was said and done, Jacquee got up and realized that she had to go to the hospital to deliver her baby. 

Barnhart added, "The extra press is a solid career booster and the power and exposure of the Internet is absolutely insane. It's amazing how many people are clicking into my website donbarnhart.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedy" rel="tag">comedy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/babies" rel="tag">babies</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/delivery" rel="tag">delivery</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/pregnant" rel="tag">pregnant</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/don+barnhart" rel="tag">don barnhart</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donbarnhart.com/&quot;&gt;

         <description>Comedy Shows Thrive During Economic Troubles

It is said that laughter heals. With this in mind, itâ€™s no wonder why comedy club business thrives during economic downturns. Award-winning comedian Don Barnhart has been around long enough to see this pattern twice already and says, When the economy goes into the toilet, people go into the comedy clubs. They need to laugh and comedy is a stress reliever and during the 80â€™s and 90â€™s when the economy took a downward spiral, comedy clubs were thriving and weâ€™re seeing that happen againâ€.

Barnhart knows what heâ€™s talking about. Throughout the eighties, Barnhart served as the House Emcee, Talent Coordinator and Manager for the prestigious Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, CA where he booked and opened for the comedy superstars of today. We served as the breeding ground for such greats as Jerry Seinfeld, Louie Anderson, Robin Williams, Jay Leno, Tim Allen, Dennis Miller, Ray Ramano, David Spade, Drew Carrey, Jim Carrey and more. These comics would come down to the club and work out their acts and showcase for the agents trying to get on TVâ€. Barnhart remembers making a video-tape for Dennis Miller, an unknown comedian back then.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/economy" rel="tag">economy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/money" rel="tag">money</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/clubs" rel="tag">clubs</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/finance" rel="tag">finance</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/success" rel="tag">success</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedy" rel="tag">comedy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/stress" rel="tag">stress</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donbarnhart.com/&quot;&gt;

         <description>It has been said that, That laughter is the best medicineâ€. It also turns out that comedy can be a preventative medicine as well. There is a huge increase in the number of suicideâ€™s by soldiers and providing comedy shows for the troops is just one of the many ways our government is trying to deal with this tragic issue. 

For years, comedians have been entertaining the troops. Bob Hope really started it and brought the importance of bringing a piece of home to the men and women serving in the militaryâ€, says comedian Don Barnhart.

He added, We try and get out to where they need it the most by going to the forward bases where they really donâ€™t have any entertainment and the stress is at itâ€™s highest. We go everywhere we can and might end up in a huge theatre on a domestic tour or telling jokes in a hanger with helicopters taking off around us when weâ€™re overseas.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedy" rel="tag">comedy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/troops" rel="tag">troops</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comics+on+duty" rel="tag">comics on duty</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/entertainment" rel="tag">entertainment</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/war" rel="tag">war</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedian" rel="tag">comedian</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donbarnhart.com/&quot;&gt;

         <description>Comedy Show Help Save Soldiers Lives

It has been said that, That laughter is the best medicineâ€. It also turns out that comedy can be a preventative medicine as well. There is a huge increase in the number of suicideâ€™s by soldiers and providing comedy shows for the troops is just one of the many ways the government is trying to deal with this tragic issue. 

For years, comedians have been entertaining the troops. Bob Hope really started it and brought the importance of bringing a piece of home to the men and women serving in the militaryâ€, says comedian Don Barnhart. Besides headlining at the top comedy clubs across the country Barnhart, an award-winning comedian with numerous television and film credits has been doing tours for Comics On Duty and USO since 1992. He added, We try and get out to where they need it the most by going to the forward bases where they really donâ€™t have any entertainment and the stress is at itâ€™s highest.

         <description>Comedian Don Barnhart serves up the comedy to entertain the troops and help fight the increase in soldier suicides. 

First and foremost, I consider it an honour and privilege to be asked to come over and entertain the troops. Iâ€™m extremely fortunate to able to make a living doing what I love and I feel we all have an obligation as an American citizen to support our troops in the best way we know how even if you object to the war itself.

Performing for the troops is different than performing at a regular comedy club in the states and once youâ€™ve done a few tours, you are bonded with the soldiers and there truly is certain sense of camaraderie and understanding. 

The reason we come over is to entertain and show our support and to let them know how much we care about them and the job they are doingâ€¦how much we respect them and I think they have a certain respect for us coming over there. Weâ€™re all in it together as we eat the same food and have to deal with the same amenities.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedy" rel="tag">comedy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/war" rel="tag">war</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/suicide" rel="tag">suicide</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/help" rel="tag">help</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedian" rel="tag">comedian</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/don+barnhart" rel="tag">don barnhart</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donbarnhart.com/&quot;&gt;

         <description>My name is Don Barnhart and I am a professional stand up comedian. What do I mean by â€˜professionalâ€™? Well, what I mean is that I have been fortunate enough to make a comfortable living travelling the world making people laugh which should answer the follow up question that yes, I actually am very funny. Iâ€™ve been on a few TV shows and appeared in some movies. If youâ€™re a rabid fan of comedy, you might recognize me as I tour over 250 days a year but Iâ€™m not quite up there in the celebrity status the likes of Jim Carrey, Robin Williams or Jerry Seinfeld but Iâ€™m right behind them.

Since 1992, I have also tried to spend several weeks a year entertaining the military troops stationed overseas. Iâ€™ve done this during peacetime and during times of war and everywhere I go people ask what itâ€™s like to perform in a dangerous setting like Afghanistan or Iraq so here is my story.

First and foremost, I consider it an honour and privilege to be asked to come over and entertain the troops.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/military" rel="tag">military</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/war" rel="tag">war</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/afghanistan" rel="tag">afghanistan</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/iraq" rel="tag">iraq</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedy" rel="tag">comedy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/humor" rel="tag">humor</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/don+barnhar" rel="tag">don barnhar</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donbarnhart.com/&quot;&gt;

         <description>Freeloader is the story of a returning Veteran that finds out his wife is cheating on him and by selling off their house and belongings leaves him alone and homeless. Setting out to find himself, he ends up on the streets in Las Vegas and uses his wit and humor to find his way back to reality.

This is will be the second feature film written, directed and and starring nationally acclaimed and award-winning comedian Don Barnhart, Jr. "The story deals with the ongoing homeless problem here in Las Vegas and Freeloader becomes the Robin Hood of the homeless," said Barnhart in a recent interview while on tour headlining for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. He added, "I really like using comedy to deal with current affairs and hard to face issues and I try to do that in my stand up show as well."

With encouragement from comedy guru Judd Apatow, Barnhart is setting out to do his own thing. Barnhart and Apatow both started out as stand up comics and they ran into each other at the Comedy Festival in Montreal. "Judd was always encouraging", said Barnhart.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/comedy" rel="tag">comedy</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/film" rel="tag">film</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/movies" rel="tag">movies</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/independent" rel="tag">independent</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/feature" rel="tag">feature</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/homeless" rel="tag">homeless</a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>

         <link>http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Self-funding-for-your-independent-feature-film/479949</link>
         <description>Today's market is different than even last years and self funding is the way to go says filmmaker Don Barnhart whose recent hit, China Dolls is a great example of doing outside the Hollywood mainstream. By preselling DVDs and downloads to our film, we we able to get start up funds for our project and we already made our money back.

China Dolls is based on current events and is the gripping tale of two Asian girls born into the underground world of human trafficking.

         <title>China Dolls is the new action film that shines light on the underside of Las Vegas</title>

         <description>Barnhart wrote, directed and stars in this gripping tale of two Asian girls born into the underground world of human trafficking and this is the first film under his production company Don Barnhart Entertainment.

Don Barnhart Jr (winner of 2007 American Idol Undergroundâ€™s Comedy Contest) first got the idea while traveling abroad entertaining the troops for the USO and Comics On Duty World Tours. I saw the depths that people go to in some of the third world countries selling off their children for a few hundred dollarsâ€ said Barnhart in a recent phone interview while entertaining the troops once again on The Comics On Duty Tour. So many women and young girls are sold into the sex trade and have no chance of ever getting out. China Dolls is the story on one girlâ€™s never ending dream to get out and live the American Dreamâ€.

Barnhart and his wife Linda Vu, who co-stars in China Dolls, share producer credits on the film as well as a natural chemistry on the big screen.  **End Summary**  Topics: <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/china+dolls" rel="tag">china dolls</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/movies" rel="tag">movies</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/dvd" rel="tag">dvd</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/film" rel="tag">film</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/action" rel="tag">action</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/entertainment" rel="tag">entertainment</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.articlesnatch.com/topic/" rel="tag"></a>]]><![CDATA[<p>]]> About the Author: <![CDATA[<br>]]>
