A group of Friends and I attended the comedy show in Honolulu, and I have to say, it was an…read moreunforgettable night! From start to finish. We did pre-game so when we got there we were pretty tipsy. The ticket price were pretty cheap, only $20 which comes with 2 complimentary alcoholic or nonalcoholic beverages. After making a fool of ourselves with the bartender and sitting in the 2nd row from the stage! We come to realize the bartender was the host/comedian. Oh boy! Did he clown all of us! Which was pretty funny! The rest of the lineup was full of talent and energy that kept the audience laughing non-stop. The venue itself was cozy but lively, creating the perfect atmosphere for a night of comedy. The intimate setting made it feel like you were right there with the performers, which really added to the experience. The comedians each brought their own unique style and humor to the stage, covering everything from local life in Hawaii to universal experiences. One comedian in particular had the crowd in stitches with their hilarious observations about island culture. It's clear they have a deep understanding of the nuances that make this place so special--and they nailed it. If you're in Honolulu and looking for a night full of laughs, this comedy show is definitely worth checking out. It's a great blend of local flavor and universal humor, and you're guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face!

The guys who run it are very nice and hospitable. They'll escort you to a seat. Tip: If you enter your phone number, you can get a free drink token after a third visit! Normally you wouldn't expect Hawaii out of all places to be a stand-up comedy capital, but you'll be pleasantly surprised to find out that a lot of comedic talent resides here. Some big names have even dropped by for a surprise set (Hannibal Buress, Iliza Shlesinger). Comedy U also makes sure to change up the shows at least several times a year. They'll have roast battles and comedy competitions to name a few. After a show, you can even sign up for an open mic if you want to try your hand at comedy. The promoters and the comedians are very supportive and will gladly give you advice if you ask. And who knows? Maybe one day you'll be performing here too.

My partner and I arrived just before show started, so most of the tables were taken, so I was pleasantly surprised when we were guided to a single table for two, near the front. There was a lineup of comedians before the special guest comedian, followed by a lineup of open mic comedians. Aside from the comedy, I felt so inspired by the bravery of these people to get up on stage and bare their soul, while hoping to spread joy to others. The show started at 7:30, and we were there until 11:30. The time flew by, and we were shocked. My partner later was inspired to possible take the stage in the future, which was such a surprise to me. I'm hoping to go back, and see my partner take the stage.

I enjoyed watching the actors read from the manuscripts and watching the facial expressions in their rough draft stage. I also liked it when few of the actors did the hand motions during their readings. I would like to see the actors memorize their lines and see how the final short comedy sketch will turn out on screen. I also enjoyed watching the previously recorded short films that other members of Improv Hi had done. The short film that I really enjoyed was comedian actor Kevin Yee's GAY LOVE. It had a catchy tune that the audience members sang a long "You can't get pregnant from Gay Love." Kimee, the founder of Improv Hi, mentioned to the audience that anyone can participate and write comedy sketches by attending the workshops. I can already imagine my updated review for Leonard's Bakery as a short comedy sketch.

Writing in from New Jersey, and still thinking about this show!…read more From the moment you walk in, you're placed into this beautifully curated museum of oddities that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the evening. It's immersive, thoughtful, and has a little bit of history. Once inside the theater, the stage design continues that experience, reflecting King David's travels with what feels like carefully collected souvenirs from his travels around the world. I loved how the history was woven in so seamlessly. It actually sent me down a rabbit hole learning more about Hawaii's last monarch afterwards haha. The show itself? Phenomenal. Aki and Ken are not only incredibly skilled magicians; both masters of sleight of hand and parlor magic respectively, but also genuinely hilarious. Their chemistry carries the entire experience, and they stayed perfectly in theme with the Hawaiian Victorian atmosphere in the magic they performed. I won't spoil anything, but I will say I was left completely mind-blown. There were moments that genuinely didn't seem possible, and just when you think you've caught your breath, another reveal hits. It just kept building, which is the type of magic I really enjoy watching. The venue is intimate and seats about 60 guests. There truly isn't a bad one in the house. Being that close makes everything even more impressive because there are no trap doors, no mirrors, nothing to hide behind. The magic happens right in front of you, and somehow that makes it even harder to believe. They also do a great job with audience participation, which adds to the fun without ever feeling forced or awkward. The show does sell out, so definitely grab tickets ahead of time. It's absolutely worth it, and I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Honolulu!

We arrived an hour earlier than 5:00 pm door opening but the line was already 25+. Construction is going on so you might need to climb the stairs one level to get here. Thank my lucky stars the elevator worked for me to get to the lobby. Have your tickets ready. I was hoping for a booth and we did get one off to the side. Placed our dinner order with Hannah. I told Doc if we spent $250 more it would be a 1K evening. We are eating prime rib and lamb shank plus pupu of poke nachos. I liked the taro chips since sadly I don't eat raw fish. Show is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. this gives us time to leisurely enjoy our dinner. Although the prime rib was tough, the veggies were overcooked the tastiest item on the plate was the mashed potatoes. Our server was attentive and refilled our water. She was excellent cuz she took my credit card and processed the tab right then. The furniture in our booth shows wear and tear on the seats and backs. Nevertheless the ambiance is good.

I had seen the headliner, Pepper, at another comedy show a while back and remembered him as "the hilarious Uber driver," and knew he would be funny as hell. I was pleased that his two openers, Andrew Joyce and Cathy Tanaka, were also sooooo funny! Know that this show is legit stand-up, not amateur hour, so well worth your time and money! Tickets were $20 ($25 at the door) and came with two drink tickets, which was generous! There was wine, plus beer from Waikiki Brewing Company. Everyone who went signed a photo release waiver that also entered them into a drawing for various prizes, like Ja Rule tickets and restaurant gift cards. Not sure if this will be the standard moving forward, but these extra elements helped make it a special night. A great, much needed addition to our local comedy landscape. Looking forward to more 2nd Saturday events!

I was pleasantly surprised with the way the show came out. The opening comedians were hilarious and of course, Pepper did not disappoint. Looking forward to the rest of the shows to come.

One of them was a little funny and a comedian named Arthur Wayne was not funny at all. He was just creepy. The venue is small and the waitress comes to your table to take your drink order. The night we went, the room was not even half full. All in all, it was a night out.

Thank you to Terry K for taking me on this journey to something that I've never tried personally is to see a play and Manoa Valley Theatre offers us some amazing performances that I've been lucky to see a play though it's never been at Manoa Valley venue itself and what a difference it is. The vibe here is full of energy as many start arriving and you need to check in and verify your seating which the staff does and also informed us that the air conditioning wasn't fully operational and provided us with a bottle water is a nice gesture though was slightly warm the cool Manoa air kept us decently cool. As we get to chill prior by getting a drink and/or snack is nice and there are great options available including some alcohol. Kim's Convenience is the play and from what we were told is once a series on Netflix which I don't have but I like that I have no idea as I can enjoy the play just as they visualize which was great and fun since it was a comedy, if anything the seating leaves no room for anyone to pass in front of you so I had leave the row and wait in the aisle for others to take their seat but in all comfortable and easy to view the play without being blocked from the previous row. Bravo to this creative and wonderful evening with a great friend as doing something unique like this was so much fun and a memorable experience. Thank you!
