The New York native grew up Orthodox Jewish, spent two years in a yeshiva in Israel, and came back to America to lose his religion and become a comic. LA Weekly has called Shaffir “a gifted unyielding comic…a real force to be reckoned with.” Shaffir has released two Netflix specials, “Double Negative,” self-described as his version of a “Smashing Pumpkins Double Album.” Shaffir also hosts the wildly popular podcast, “Skeptic Tank,” a weekly interview show where he chats with everyone from parents to comedians to prostitutes, and is consistently among the top-rated podcasts on iTunes. Shaffir has released two stand-up specials on Comedy Central, and he continues to perform stand up to sold-out crowds nationwide. Chino LaForge, Hawai‘i’s award-winning and charismatic comedian,has been making waves—and he’s just getting started. Chino walks the line of offensive with raw stories and physical presentation. His animal-style comedy comes from a place of organic honesty, and is referred to as “gimmick-free.” This show contains adult subject matter. Ticket holders must be 18+. Tickets: $41 (plus applicable fees) Tickets on sale Saturday, December 21.

Shaping the cultural landscape of these communities – and influencing the dance field at large – is a contemporary ballet company entering its third decade of undiminished creative drive. For their Hawaii Tour ASFB will perform three outstanding pieces from their global repertoire. First, Where We Left Off choreographed by Nicolo Fonte who has been a guest choreographer for the ASFB since 1999. This piece is an unveiled reference to the decade-long relationship between the company and Fonte as the dance focuses on overcoming anxieties to ultimately find trust in a beautiful partnership. The second piece Silent Ghost, choreographed by Alejandro Cerrudo, captivates the heart with its solemn beauty. This sensuous duet weaves through enigmatic emotions and will leave those who watch with the ache of lovesickness. The third piece is 1st Flash by Finnish choreographer Jorma Elo. This energetic piece amalgamates the contemporary spirit while maintaining a sense of drama and elegance. kahilutheatre.org
