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!

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.

We went on a Wednesday night, and we had some laughs. The comedians were pretty funny in some moments. We also got some chips/dips to share plus a couple of sodas. The space was pretty intimate and cool. It was nice to try out a comedy club there in Oahu, but there are definitely better ones in CA.

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!

She was dressed like a homeless person and worse than that, she wasn't funny at all.

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.

Wind and sheets of rain outside in Waikiki you'd never know that was happening inside the cozy interiors of the Blue Note. 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.

They are all youthful career seasoned improvisors! Lucky if you get them as an instructor. They teach the teachers/instructors who take on the classes. You have Matt who's a Psychology grad, comedian McDonut, etc. Classes Classes are as fun as you want them to be, depends on the imagination (; I've grown from it, my corporate/retired friends I'd bring along have grown from it. You learn communication techniques you can use in life, at home or work, for relationships. They will always show up, and classes vary in sizes and people. Sometimes I see the regular guys like myself, but we might all/each be at different days. There is never any pressure to take a class, signup for a month. They keep you updated on upcoming events too usually performances at Jazzmind (in the past was Ong King Arts Center) you must try their Brewhahas done last saturdays of the month not all months so keep an eye out! Prices Prices are the best, affordable & worth every penny better than signing up at acting groups across the island. These guys are improv. When i signed up at other actor classes, anytime they go over improv I just want to leave them and come back to these guys because they got the best value at lower costs i dont want to spend my time and money at other improv sessions. These guys bring you the best, so stick around and find out. Cash/online methods with card for flexibility. Venues They've always picked fun venues to do improv, for classes or shows! Most importantly they havent changed their $rates in the 3 years I've dropped in. Really can depend on them! -- Take advantage of their month discount rates if you have 4 or 5 tuesdays to spare. They have also offered thursdays. It varies. There is always parking around. Like street or free parking garage nearby. Will post more photos at checkins!

The Studio At Hawaiian Brian's Let me start off by saying-…read moreI'm trying to be helpful. I'm not a write 1 negative review and never come back to Yelp- I do have over 500 reviews as of writing this- so I would appreciate not having negative comments coming back to me as this is only my humble opinion both as a reviewer and a aficionado of great music. I like the space, it is unique in that it is so small. That isn't negative- it lets the audience be right there with the band and the band can clearly see the reactions of faces of fans and hopeful fans. This is a real confidence raiser for those on open mic night to be able to see a crowd enjoy their music. Did I mention it is small? Even as small as it is- there is a large bar facing the bandstand. In a way - it is hard for fans to get used to, There are 2 large eye focuses. The bar or the bandstand. I don't know why there are two focal points- is it to keep people for going in and out during a concert? There are other smaller mobile bars that they have in other areas -like Crossroads. But it is a large bar compared to the stage. Do be aware though of what kind of band you are paying for in advance. It can be disappointing if you pay what I would consider full price for a show and it is less than you expected. Google/ Facebook/ Amazon the band and then you should have a better idea of the bands quality- because they are playing in a realllllllly small venue. If you don't want to pay for a small venue show -then wait. I have been to about 50 different music venues in Austria and Germany and seen many different types of shows- from classical to modern music, and the venue really does influence your experience. Depending on the band- I like having a small small venue to hear them- it is not a coffeehouse feel where there is a phsishhhshshsh sound every 2 minutes so the sound quality is better than coffee houses - but has the feel of a coffee house where you can drink. I think the Safehouse/ Republik is a better venue - comparing Honolulu venues to Honolulu venues. My advice is still to know what band it is you are going to see and enjoy the band you are going to see- regardless of the venue because supporting local artists is a wonderful way of promoting local music.

The Studio is a small bar located as the first door on your right once you enter Hawaiian Brians. You don't need to go passed security checking your ID so it's definitely good for those who aren't legal. Did I mention it's really small? I was here for an EP Release party, another band and an independent musician and his friend opened up for them that night. This was a great example of the talent Hawaii has to offer. If you really like to be in an intimate settings where you can be as close to the band as possible without possibly hurting your ear drums this is the place. The space is very chill, people come and sit at the tables, grab a drink at the bar, stand. It probably won't be as intimate if your friend's band is extremely popular. If that were the case you should tell your friends to consider the Crossroads which is the larger venue in Hawaiian Brians. If you don't like live music, or people, or need your space at all times, I don't think these places are for you. If you're into live music, like people and have the opportunity to catch a conversation with the people making music you like than definitely stop by. There's always these kinds of events happening at the Studio and at Hawaiian Brian. I suggest you check out if you want to get into the Hawaii music scene, this place is a start.
