I went to the first show @ 1400! I also think that your Bosnia story was one of the most touching stories ever. I went out and bought the book...amazing. It really goes to show that laughter is the best medicine. Hope to see you around someday Danie Bernie,

Not only was it inspiring but it kept my attention and to tell you the truth wish that it didnt end when it did. Your story was very inspiring and in a way i could related to how alcohol effected my life growing up as well only i was on the other side with a step mom that was a drunk. Until i left for the military there wasnt a day that went by i didnt resent her for it. Im glad that others can get a first hand look at it through your comedy and hopefully stop it before it hurts them or even the people around them. But thanks again for coming and hopefully one day you'll be back!! 43rd SFS Hey Bernie,

We have motivational speakers all year long about the same old thing and what they've been through. But your show was completely different. i am a huge stand up comedy fan so when i arrived at the theatre and found out what is was and when they said your name and i knew who you were i was excited. i figured since you said your giving a book i would reply to this but even if i don't get picked i'm buying it. Thanks for your comedy and for the story you told us about your life. I have two younger brothers and that's the one thing that worries me is that they'll grow up like i did and get into drinking at a very young age. i'll tell your story though when it gets to that time. Thanks again bernie and try to come back next year. HI Bernie,

As a current person dealing with some those issues, I can truly sit back and relate. My fiance and I just broke off a 2 year engagement and not once I have I reached out for the assistance of alcohol. It feels good event though I have so much hurt. Thanks Bernie keep on keepin on.

You had me rolling the entire time I was there. I have to say that it was well worth getting up on my day off and coming to see your show. But, on the real side, im hoping you got through to a lot of people. That is a serious, serious issue and im glad there is someone out there that can get the point across like you did today. Thank you very much for the great show! Airman 1st Class Justin Elliott 43rd Security Forces Pope AFB, NC Bernie,

I've been stationed here with my family for a year, and out of all of the mandatory things to go to for drinking and driving and drugs, yours was absolutely my favorite. I was actually kinda sad when it was over. I was at the 1600 show, and at first I was upset that I was having to attend another show about drinking and driving and drugs. I'll be 21 in August, but I've seen what alcohol does to a person and their family first hand, so alcohol will never be an issue for me. Your show was hilarious and I went home and told my husband about it. It is very refreshing to see that a star appreciates the military. Thanks for coming to "No- Hope Pope" and sharing your talents and your experiences with us. It was wonderful, and I hope to see you perform again soon.
