Creator of The GIs of Comedy, Thom Tran, second from left, helps students from the SUNY Buffalo State communication department set up a tent for the stage performance that was held Nov. 2 at the college. The show was filmed live with hope that a major network such as Comedy Central would take an interest in this group. Tran is a Buffalo State alumnus and U.S. Army veteran, who started his comedy career in 2008. The GIs of Comedy are all veterans of the United States military who use their years of experience in the armed forces to create laughter. By Marybeth Calabrese and Ally Selva
