ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Laughing Samoans tickle funnybone
Advertiser Staff and News Services
Move over Da Braddahs, the Laughing Samoans are in town. The New Zealand comedy duo — Eteuati Ete and Tofiga Fepulea'i — will perform their latest show of skits and bits, "Off Work," at 7 p.m. tomorrow at Blaisdell Concert Hall. We hear the finale, an Elvis impersonation, is their best yet. There's a large Samoan community in New Zealand, and the mix of cultures — Polynesian and Caucasian — will strike a chord (and funny bone) with Honolulu comedy fans. Tickets: $20-$40, www.ticketmaster.com, (877) 750-4400.
