Kims of Comedy Concert

So....went to check out the Kims of Comedy concert Saturday night at the Hawaii Theatre. Got there a little early, and just so happens as my friend and I are walking toward the theatre, a limo pulls up and out pops Bobby Lee, the guy from MadTV. So I talked story with him for about a minute or 2, as he smoked his cig and pounded his Red Bull drink. He said it was his first time in Oahu (he's been to Maui before) and that he was having a great time. Also said that they're gonna be releasing a 2nd Kims of Comedy DVD soon too.

2 Funny Lookin' Koreans!
As for the crowd, it was pretty mixed. Asian, for the most part, but a solid mix of locals, Japanese, Philipino, Korean, etc. But there were probably more Koreans than any other race present.

Walk into the theatre and it was at about 85% - 90% capacity, which I thought was pretty good!

As for the concert itself...the opening act was this white woman named...I forget...but she wasn't that funny. I couldn't wait for her to leave.

The first "Kim" to perform was Kevin Shea, and after watching their DVD, he was my 2nd favorite "Kim" after Bobby Lee and he didn't disappoint. I just dig his comedic style. Raunchy, dirty sex jokes, the F-word...my kind of humor! He even started talking to this 15 year old girl in the front row who came with her parents and made a comment about what great parents they were. I wonder if they knew coming in how adult oriented the concert would be? In any case, I think all of the comedians talked to the girl after that and she essentially became a part of the show. Poor girl! LOL

2nd up was Steve Byrne. And yeah....I still don't think he's that funny. He does a lot of physical humor and I wasn't quite feeling it.

3rd up was Dr. Ken, who is a real life doctor in his day job. He wasn't bad...but he recycled a lot of his material from the DVD so I had heard a lot of the jokes before. But there was this one heckler who started going at it when Dr. Ken came on stage and Dr. Ken did a good job of dealing with him and turning him into a joke. Funny on the fly stuff.

Last up was the headliner Bobby Lee. This guy is just so off the wall that you have to laugh. Some of his jokes were recycled from the DVD as well, but he still provided enough fresh material to please. He was even funny when he had to adlib a little when his mike broke and had to be replaced halfway during his act. Then he did an "interactive" thing where he brought some people on stage as props as he stripped down to a G-string and acted like a stripper giving a lap dance. He brought the heckler from Dr. Ken's act on stage and this guy was a total ass. One of those guys that thinks he's funny but is actually obnoxious. He was wearing his shades on stage, put a cig in his mouth, trying to be "cool", made some stupid jokes about North/South Korea which Bobby Lee rightfully ignored and the heckler came off looking like a real tool.

Overall, the concert lasted about 2 hours and I had a great time. The audience was totally into it and cracking up left and right with even some standing ovations. I'll definitely buy their 2nd DVD whenever its released!
