After stepping away from comedy in 2019, he returned to the stage in 2022 and continues to bring big laughs across Hawai‘i.
Bu Laʻia is a longtime local favorite known for bold Pidgin humor and island-style storytelling. Rising in the 1990s, he built a strong following through stand-up, sketches, and his TV series The Bu Laʻia Show. His comedy pulls from everyday Hawai‘i life, food, surf, and local culture, with a style that mixes sharp parody and real talk. From live stages to film and music, Bu Laʻia delivers high-energy laughs rooted in island identity.
ABOUT BRAVE HAWAIʻI
In 2026, BRAVE Hawaiʻi celebrates 13 years of serving keiki, families, and neighborhoods across the state. What began as a simple message has grown into a statewide movement rooted in one value. Be Respectful And Value Everyone. BRAVE Hawaiʻi was created by Mahealani Sims Tulba. The name BRAVE stands for Be Respectful And Value Everyone. After experiencing bullying herself, Mahealani committed to turning her experience into positive change. She speaks at schools statewide, promoting kindness, respect, goal setting, and personal growth.
