Samoan Comedian (Chief Sielu Avea) 1995 Polynesian Cultural Center, Laie, Oahu, Hawaii
Video Overview & Insights
My recording (hi-8) and experience of the first "Samoan Comedian" in the summer of 1995 at the Polynesian Cultural Center located in Laie, Oahu, Hawaii. For more information on Chief Sielu and his remarkable story, look for him on Wikipedia. I should also add that he starred in a "short" 20 minute movie aptly entitled "Chief" that was shown at the Sundance festival and is now available on a popular streaming service that rhymes with "dime."
The OG LEGEND of PCC!
Chief Sielu!

Ah, this takes me back. It probably was Chief Sielu doing the show when I visited in the early 90s. Fond memories

I think it would be amazing if the sweet Japanese woman in this video sees this some day! Her interaction with Chief Sielu is, in my opinion, the biggest part of what makes this video a joy to watch (and share) again and again.
love it

Most amazing show in the era of double meaning joke it's a jem
@abhimanyubora8310Kap become the next chief...
@BagusTirtaPrawitaIf he makes that joke where the black woman drinks the coconut juice and turns white in 2026, he probably gets canceled instantly. We can't make jokes like this anymore in this day and age.
@mixedgameart123Missing the 90's for the humor, too.
@ericjonpoI'm glad I still can go back to the year 1995 in 2026. Not many of us still had this chance.
@AszweezerSimple, effective and reliable joke is what missing nowadays. This was (and still) hella good!! 👏🔥
These people had the time of their lives! 😂🤣🔥
