"We are excited to welcome two of the biggest and most respected names in comedy to Valley Forge Music Fair," said VFCR Chief Marketing Officer Jennifer Galle. "Stand-up shows from Tracy Morgan and Carlos Mencia will follow a star-studded summer that saw big national names like Comedy Central's Natasha Leggero, American Idol's Daughtry and music legend The Charlie Daniels Band."

First up, multi-talented comedian Tracy Morgan brings his latest major multi-city stand-up tour, Tracy Morgan: Picking Up The Pieces to VF's The Event Center on Saturday, October 15, 2016, at 9pm (doors open 8:00pm). After a triumphant return to the Hollywood stage at this year's Emmy Awards and his Saturday Night Live homecoming, audiences can look forward to the entertainer doing what he does best, making people laugh.

Tracy Morgan is one of the most respected comedians in his field and is currently headlining his 31 stop nationwide stand-up tour, Picking Up the Pieces. Starring for seven seasons on NBC's Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning "30 Rock," Morgan appeared opposite Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin as "Tracy Jordan," the unpredictable star of Lemon's (Fey) hit variety show, "TGS with Tracy Jordan." Morgan recently wrapped production on "Fist Fight" which he stars in alongside Ice Cube and Charlie Day and will be out in 2017. He will also star in the Weinstein Co.'s Richard Pryor biopic "Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said?" as Redd Foxx opposite Mike Epps. Additionally, Morgan has been selected to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the 2016 class.

"It's just like falling off a bike and getting back on, that's all--you don't forget where the pedals are," Morgan says on getting back to touring. "People can expect more of what I did before. It's me, funny + truth = Tracy Morgan. I can't wait to get back to ya'll; city to city, state to state, watch me operate."

Mencia began his career doing stand-up on amateur night at the world renowned Comedy Club, Laugh Factory. He later showcased at The Comedy Store and became a regular, performing nightly. After he found success on the L.A comedy circuit, Mencia was named "International Comedy Grand Champion" from Buscando Estrellas (the Latino version of Star Search).
