Promoting my favorite Comedians at the Laugh Factory Hawaii

Ever wanted to meet for favorite comedians in real life? I have.

During my Junior year of high school, I met a substitute teacher named Jon Schneider. I later found out he was in charge of conducting comedy shows in Hawaii under the famous Laugh Factory franchise. He liked my sense of humor, and when he asked me if I wanted to help him promote the shows he brought to the island through the Laugh Factory Hawaii, I couldn’t resist – it was my first taste of the entertainment industry.

I helped Jon for two years distributing flyers and assisting backstage for the Laugh Factory Hawaii until I graduated in 2006 and moved to Oregon for college. Later Jon and I collaborated again for the Bobby Lee comedy show we hosted through Ohana Entertainment at OSU during my sophomore year of college. He has remained a close friend of mine, and he introduced me to some pretty cool people too!

I had an amazing time working for the Laugh Factory Hawaii and I am very thankful for the good times I had.
