Honored to be able to entertain our Soldiers in Korea, hitting multiple bases in all areas. A show could be coming to your base soon! Korea is COOOOLD this time of year, but the Army has it decorated with all it’s Christmas lights and beauty, lifting morale for troops and bringing a bit of home to each soldier. Hats off to General Johnson for caring so much about soldiers that he supported this Suicide Prevention mission! Also to Jocelynn, Theresa, Mr. Chong and staff for allowing me to entertain and also inspire soldiers to stay Army STRONG. Jocelyn has no easy task coordinating many shows in multiple regions but she did a great job! But no tour could take place without you soldiers. The heroes of the world. Keep using your resources for any situation where support is needed. I hope you enjoyed the show, the laughter and the message. The holidays are a special buy sometime vulnerable time for some. Surround yourself with loved ones and friends. Come back Saturday at 1200 hrs to see the FIVE winners chosen for the show Raffle for copies of ‘I KILLED’ TRUE ROAD STORIES FROM AMERICA’s TOP COMEDIANS!

The symbol of commitment and sacrifice: Coins from 8th Army Commanders from Korea. These Patches were torn by soldiers from their uniforms at Camp Red Cloud, given to me after the show. Several were earned and worn downrange in battle. The most humblest honor I could ever be bestowed by the men and women who fight for and defend our FREEDOM and HONOR.
I was in ur show today it was a great show thank you for sharing your story with all of us
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Great show!
Your story has an uplifting impact to all of us and is very inspirational. Thanks for having the courage to share it with all of us.
Dear Bernie,
I just want to say thanks for the show it was funny, the information was great and I hope the soldiers get the message. Once again thanks for taking the time to out to korea show us some love. Thanks brother.
Staying on the level!
Thanks
Bernie,
Great show today. It really was a funny routine and had a meaningful message. I’m sure I speak for all Service Members when I say that we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us in the military. You are doing great things. Thank you.

Bernie,
Comedians have as much courage as Soldiers. Standing up in front of hundreds of people you do not know and putting it all on the line. So, thanks for your funny and interesting stand-up. for a while I was like “wheres the suicide prevention part?”, but you hit it hard. Thanks! Along with the consistent roof creaking Id sit thru more of that. In a military environment you got to kind of “sensor” some material but Ill have to catch you in the states some where at an improv place and see you go H.A.M. Until next time… #YouKilled
Bernie,
I loved your show! You turned a usual boring training into a funny yet heartfelt show that the majority of people can relate to. It takes a strong person to tour the country and tell a story so personal, let alone to still have a big smile on your face. Thank you for coming and hopefully one day we can enjoy your show again.
P.S. You “DID DAT” (in other words you killed it)
Thank for coming to Korea and make a difficult subject a lighter while still presenting a strong message.
Thanks for the laughs and for your stories. It really help me get through the day.
Outstanding show! Thanks for helping Soldiers around the world thru your comedy therapy. ^^
Thank you for coming to Korea and sharing your stories. I will never forget today show.
Bernie,
Thanks for your comedy, courage and sincerity today. You showed a group of Soldiers how to courageously discuss subjects that scare each of us. Your experiences (and those of your family) are powerful, uplifting and sad in the way that only true life can be. Best of luck to you and yours. This was a great experience and the best training on the subjects I’ve ever attended.
Thanks!
Hey sir,
Thank you so much for the great laughs and that touching story today. I have no doubt in my mind that yesterday you saved someone life and made them realize there is always a better option then suicide . I thank god for people like you in the world who are here , not to destroy lives but to save them. It was hard to hold back tears with hearing your story as a grown man and i did my best not to. You were not there to make soldiers cry you were there to inspire us and to show us that with effort and good decisions in life will make us happy individuals. I dont know if you remember me i was the young guy that came to you and said i was proud of you . Which i am. People like you inspire me to keep being a better person and to look out for others. Your doing this world a great deed and i thank you so much for that sir. God bless.
Sincerely,
PFC Gigliotti.
Than you for the show the single best informaton class I’ve been too in the are. I think you have and will help more people then you will ever know..I was at show on camp walker
You rocked Bernie! come back soon. Best class ever!!! God Bless you and your family sir!!!
Hi Bernie,
Just got off from seeing you at the Camp Walker, Gym here in Gaegu, Korea. I mean since I only live 5 mins away from the gym. Before lunch, I decided to check your website and man it is awesome especially the pics of your brother Sean, Scott and sister Deb. Even though I was just standing in the back, your humor killed me. I see some folks did not get some of your jokes but that’s what made it funnier. AWESOME way to teach us Soldiers about Alcohol, Drugs, Sexual Assault etc. without the “DEATH BY POPWERPOINT”. You are very blessed man and I think all the things that happened in your life happen for a reason. God has a purpose for you but you just had to go through His series of life lessons. I guess this is so you CAN save lives especially for some of us who have been deployed 3 times, had kids who were born without us, missed out on the 1st of any child’s life (1st step, 1st word, 1st b-day etc). You are truly a blessing to others and I know you will be more blessed than you could ever imagine. Keep the faith brother and May God bless you and your family. Have a safe trip back HOME.
In Christ
Archie
Great show! Thanks.
Sir,
This was by far the best mandatory fun requirement I’ve had the privilege of watching. Thank you for sharing your life and letting us be a part of yours.
Take care
Lyons (Al)
Thanks for a great show and coming to Korea. It’s nice to know that Soldiers stationed in Korea aren’t forgotten afterall. Appreciate the laughs at Camp Walker.
Thank you Bernie! Great message and great Comedy! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Thank You so much Bernie. The show was great!!!
Bernie, seen your show today, have seen you before at Ft.Stewart, Ga….great as always, thanks for sharing…..
Your show was amazing today thank you!~
Hey Bernie, My name is SPC Reschke (U.S. Army) or Sydney which is easier to say then my last name but, just got finished attending your show about 10 minutes ago here at camp carroll, South Korea. I was blessed enough to recieve a book with your lovely signature in it and be lucky enough to see the handsom pictures of your brothers Sean and Scott along with pictures of your gorgeous wife and lovely sister. Alive or in heaven you and your entire family shall remain in my prayers. I appreciate all the humor you brought in my life today and being able to hear about your brother(s). I do hope to see you again maybe at another military base or some where close enough for me to attend. Thank you again for your appreciation and hope you get home safe to the United State (also to your wife if she is not here).
– SPC Reschke, Sydney
Bernie, i saw your show today, December 11, 2012 at Camp Carroll, Korea with my fellow safety team members. Great show. Hard subject to cover. But it’s very much needed. God Bless you in your mission.
Last month in the military for me and this was the best training i had so far. Thank you for your work.
Bernie you Rocked Camp Walker today. I could hardly contain myself. You made me cry and laugh. I Laughed at your jokes and you brought tears to my eyes when you acknowledged your brother Shawn. My son is 23 and special and it was so nice to hear you embrace Shawn in your act. Special people are the most loving and kind people I know. God’s richest blessings on you and your family. Keep sending your message!
Bernie, thanks for your efforts to make a difference in the lives of Soldiers. A lot of us love it, but Korea can be a tough place to be stationed, especially when it’s your first time away from home, like so many of our Soldiers here on the Peninsula. Your humorous, positive, and powerful message to the troops is a great reminder that folks back home care about them.
Bernie, thanks for sharing your stories with us and for the laughs at CP Carroll
Great performance! It was an entertaining and useful way to get the message across instead of the boring videos that are usually utilized.
Thank you
PS: Can I borrow your cork?
I found your story inspirational, and I appreciate all that you do to help my brothers and sisters in uniform. I too have a special needs sibling, and was touched by your sense of commitment to your brother. Im sorry for the pain you experienced growing up, I know what its like, and Im happy for you that you can find a way to overcome hardship with laughter. Best of luck to you and your family and all of your fans.
Bernie, seeing your routine today at Camp Carroll was definately a much needed change of pace. Thank you for your support of the military and best wishes for you and your family.
Bernie,
You are the man!!! Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule and coming to Camp Carroll to talk and joke with us. Had a really good time hope to see you again!
This is LOPEZ… I was at your show here at Camp Carroll on Dec. 11 2012. Thank your for your support and for the great things you do! I enjoyed every bit of the show…
We at the show today at Camp Humphreys! The best one I’ve ever attended since I’ve been in the army! Thank you so much for coming all the way out here to see us.
Hey man good show with a great message. Thank you for coming out and supporting us.
Sir,
I would like to say that you are very good at what you do. I laughed and recieved a very positive message at the same time. I also would like to say that your story and message were very touching to me. I want to wish you the best. Congratulations on being sober for 24 years that is a “very good first start.”
Great show today, Bernie! Thanks for adding some comedy to our day!
Hello Bernie, i was at your show at Camp Humphrey’s today. You gave me a good laugh and your messages hit home, thank you for coming to talk to us today.
Comedy is the cure, i had my brother pass on my second day of basic training and i have been struggling. Attending your show and hearing your story has me re-evaluating myself abd asking if im playing the victim. I miss him but a little laugh brought some joy to this month from being away from home. Thank you. 🙂
Bernie, Bernie, Bernieeeeeeeee
awesome show. thank you for sharing your story.
Your comedy show was very influential and informative!!!
Thanks for the laughs and the message it inspired my soldiers aswell as lifted their spirts. Be safe on ur way home and enjoy the holidays.

SPC Kulick
I had a good time I can really relate to how you’re felling about the loss of your brother. My brother died in 2006 and I’m still in pain because the loss.
Thanks again for everything your message is just what I needed to hear. Hope we talk again really soon.
I appreciate you coming to Korea in order to share your story with us in hopes that we can really learn from your experiences. Your dedication to the troops will always be remembered.
Dear Bernie,
I really enjoyed your show and a lot of the comedy that came with it. I also hope that Sean will like the flag and U.S. Army name tape and he feels like a soldier when he wears them.
Thanks for the message bernie

Thanks a lot for performing for us today. t meant around the holidays.
Hey, hi and hello…
Thank you for taking the time today to talk to the Soldiers and Civilians of Camp Casey. Your approach to serious issues was just the ticket that “mandatory” training needed to get these service members involved and engaged…
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
I’d just like to say that I loved your show. I really thought that the message that you told us was really powerful. I’m really greatful that you came to Korea for us troops
Thanks for your show. Your comedic performance was great but your story was also compelling. Thank you for your time at Camp Casey, Korea we all enjoyed it.
It takes a lot of courage to talk about your personal life to a bunch of strangers, and a lot of creativity to keep hundreds of Soldiers entertained while delivering an important message. You are both courageous and creative and I appriciate the work you do. Keep it up!
Bernie,
Thank you for coming to Camp Casey and sharing your stories with us. Your presentation was funny and insightful. I glad it wasnt another POWERPOINT presentation about that few people only get information from. Hope all goes well with you and your family. And keep on entertaining and sharing your stories with service members around the world.

Hey Bernie, I think your following me! lol I was at the show you did in Savannah, Georgia (Hunter Army Airfield) in the theater.

Thanks for sharing your story. Keep up the great work.

Amazing show today. Very inspirational. It was fun to attend and you sent a great message. Thanks for your time and dedication.

Thanks so much for sharing your message and doing what you do to keep us soldiers entertained. Good luck as you travel back home to see your brother.
I was at your show today at Camp Casey. I was thrilled to meet someone who had a mutual friend of mine. Thanks for sharing your hope with me.
Thanks for caring without sounding like a self centered a-hole!

Hey Bernie,
I am SGT Okara, I had a wonderful time listening to your heartfelt story about the demons of alcoholism and drug addiction. Some people can’t get over that feat. I was so very touched when you said that you have been sober for 24 years. I am so very sorry about you losing your brother, Scott. Also, I have a two daughters with developmentally delayed issues so I can relate to your other brothers problem, as well. Take care Bernie, May God Bless you and your heart and a have a safe return to the states.
SGT Okara, Jason
