The Armed Services Arts Partnership’s (ASAP) Comedy Bootcamp in Norfolk, Virginia, is an eight week comedy writing and performing class for veterans, servicemembers, and military family members. Comedy bootcampers partner with professional stand-up comedians and comedy instructors to develop routines and find audiences. We meet several veteran comedians and follow Isaura Ramirez who spent 13 years in the Army and a 15-month tour in Iraq. Isaura speaks about military service, the sexual harassment she faced in the Army and how comedy has helped her and others tell their story. Along the way, see Isaura and her fellow veteran comedians perform at New York City’s Gotham Comedy Club. Watch the clip below.
