HONOLULU (KHON2) – If you’ve ever chuckled at stand-up comedy or spotted him as “Bernard Tai” in the cinematic masterpiece known as “Crazy Rich Asians,” you’re in for a treat. Not to mention, he’s graced the screen in “Interior Chinatown,” streaming on Hulu—because who doesn’t want to binge-watch something that will inevitably remind them of their own mediocre life choices?

Prepare yourselves, comedy aficionados! The side-splitting, laughter-infusing Jimmy O. Yang is embarking on his new tour, “Big and Tall.” This extravagant event hits the lovely shores of Hawaii at the Neil Blaisdell Arena on Saturday, March 25, 2025, joined by the local legends, Tumua and Cathy Tanaka—proof that comedy really can be a ‘family’ affair, just without the awkward Thanksgiving dinners.
And on a side note: BIA Hawaii kicks off today, in case you were wondering what else will be competing for your attention!
Yang shared his overwhelming excitement, stating, “I’m super thrilled for you all to come see this tour. It’s my first in three years—because who doesn’t love a long hiatus? I promise there’s a new hour of material, chock-full of hilarious updates about my dad, karaoke, and Shohei Ohtani. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be Asian to get the jokes; that’s just a bonus!” Honestly, if dad humor isn’t universal, I don’t know what is.
Who inspires Yang’s comedic genius? Why, his father, of course! “I recently did a Toyota commercial with him, and let me tell you, he’s a comedic gold mine. He’s convinced he’s the real star of the family—despite starting his acting career post me! It’s cute, really. He’s booking more commercials than I am,” shared Yang, possibly with a hint of existential dread. Ah, the age-old battle of ‘Who’s the real star?’—good luck reconciling that at Christmas.
In summary, if you enjoyed Yang’s humor on various stages, make sure to put March 25, 2025, in your calendar—a day dedicated to laughter, local talent, and the eternal question of familial comedic rivalry that’s about as relatable as missing your Target run on a Sunday.
