Re: Who's your favorite local comedian?
Just found out that Kent Bowman passed away on December 20. Very sad to hear that news.
Kent's album, "No Talk Stink", was probably my first exposure to comedy recordings. My auntie had an old copy of the LP and I used to listen to it repeatedly as a kid.
He certainly paved the way for local comedy as we know it, from Rap to Andy to Frank and beyond.
I strongly suggest you find a copy of his stuff and give it a listen if you haven't ever done so. Eh, what the heck, you should listen even if you heard it before. The next time I'm back in Hawaii, I'm going to see if my auntie still has that album.
Rest in peace, Kent!
