On December 24th, 1953, comedian and pidgin advocate Andy Bumatai was born.
Bumatai was born in Germany, spent much of his childhood in San Francisco, and didn’t come to Hawaii until he was 13, but he’s always been a local boy. After living in Kalihi for a year, Bumatai’s family moved to Waianae. He attended Waianae intermediate and high school, earning a name for himself as the class clown. He dropped out of high school in the 11th grade and started working odd jobs, from a dishwasher to a surfboard polisher. He became a successful salesman, and by his early 20s he saw that there were virtually no stand-up comics playing shows in local restaurants and clubs. He decided to fill that void, becoming one of Hawaii’s first stand-up comedians.
Andy "talks story" with host and friend Kamaka Brown.
