TWO popular comedians from Hawaii sent a well-packed house
rolling in laughter in a two-hour show at the Hibiscus Hall of Fiesta Resort
& Spa on Friday evening.
Kaleo Pilanca, one of Hawaii’s funniest comedians and emcees
started the ball rolling with his jokes during the first half of the show.
Pilanca, voted into the 2005 Top 10 Funniest people Hawaii on Rory Wild’s Count
Down Hawaii did not fail to meet the audience’s expectations as he made clean
fun jokes about the different races while claiming he is not a racist.
Mel Cabang or Uncle Mel took the stage for the second half
of the show and sent the audience into more laughter as he hit on the visiting
navy soldiers from USS Momsen who were at the audience.
A comedian for the past four decades, Cabang made the
Filipinos, Chamorro, Japanese, Americans and ‘the black guys’ the brunt of his
jokes in the show and called on some navy sailors to participate in his stint.
His technique of using a flashlight to seek out particular targets in the
audience just sent everyone roaring in laughter.
The Big Bang Comedy Show Blowout Saipan, a Shimbros
Production was hosted by the Marianas Pacific Distributors or MarPac as part of
