Comedy Warriors: Healing Through Humor

No matter if you support the current wars the US is involved in, you have to feel for and support the soldiers. The men and women who fight is wars, have a very tough road to come back to civilian life, they have been seriously injured both physically and mentally. In Comedy Warriors, five veterans have a chance to heal their wounds by getting up on stage and making jokes. This is why I love this movie so much. There is a major issue with soldiers who come back with issues that are unresolved, so I love seeing them work out their issues. It was especially interesting watching them do so while trying something new life stand up comedy. This is a truly amazing film, one to watch for sure, it is funny, honest, heart wrenching and up lifting.

I like the honesty of this film. We hear how these servicemen and woman were injured. And the physical and mental pain they went through and are still going through. Very courageous.

I really fell in love with these guys. First they go and fight for our country. Then they get severely injured. And now they are being brave again and going out there on stage and trying to make us laugh. That is awesome! They said it is a way to help them heal, but it's still a service they are providing the public, providing humor and laughter. They are very funny individuals. I would definitely pay to see them if they were performing at a club.

Our service men and women give so much to us. They go over sacrifice themselves then come back injured and oftentimes that includes the lose of a limb. I can not imagine how tough and painful that is to endure. In the movie "Comedy Warriors" we met 5 service men/women who use the power of laughter to overcome the injuries they suffered during the war. Later on they team up with several established comedians and they begin working on their material. They go back home and at the end they perform in Los Angeles and the best part is they do great, they are really funny even when they are not referencing the injuries. There are not many films that make you feel good about the world fortunately "Comedy Warriors" is an uplifting experience.

I know a couple of service men and women. They sacrifice so much for us and they endure so much trauma. I have a friend she can barely talk about what she saw and experienced. It was with this backdrop that I watched "Comedy Warriors". In the movie 5 veterans all injured during their time in Iraq and Afghanistan receive guidance from accomplished stand-up Comedians like Bob Saget, Lewis Black and Zack Galifianakis. It was really cool watching them improve their material and how at ease they were on stage, but the best part was watching how they are using comedy to overcome their traumatic injuries. I left the film feeling good and inspired. A must for all fans of uplifting documentaries!

I gotta admit I'm a pretty liberal guy. I didn't approve of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and I'm not a real military guy. That being said, I still support the troops and my heart aches for all they endure. It was with these conflicting feelings that I watched "Comedy Warriors" I can't imagine losing a leg or seeing what these guys saw. I loved hearing their stories, but even more I loved watching them kill it on-stage. It was especially cool seeing them get pointers from established comedians and how their advice helped their sets improve, and the best part these vets were truly funny, there weren't any pity laughs they killed it!
