Ronny Chieng & Friends are back for TWO NIGHTS ONLY: Tuesday August 4 and Wednesday August 5, 2026. Join us for a throw back comedy variety music show featuring a surprise special guest line up of famous stand-up comedians, movie stars and local music. These shows are a love letter to the people of Hawaii, their love of live performances, and the local independent businesses and restaurants—including the historic Hawaii Theatre itself—that make Hawaii special. Housed in Honolulu’s historic Chinatown, the Hawaii Theatre has stood as a beacon for the arts since 1922. From silent films and vaudeville to symphonies, Broadway hits, and community performances, this landmark has inspired generations of artists and audiences alike. All proceeds from the evening will directly support the restoration and preservation of the Hawaii Theatre’s iconic exterior, along with vital funding for community programs, youth education, and world-class live performances. Your support helps ensure that this historic treasure remains a vibrant gathering place for Hawaii’s creative spirit for generations to come. As a special bonus, tickets are available on Wednesday August 5 for an exclusive VIP on-stage celebration that includes premium seating for the show and dinner on the stage. Guests will have a rare opportunity to step into the spotlight and dine and celebrate directly on the Hawaii Theatre’s storied stage — a magical setting where audiences and artists have connected for over a century. Whether you come for the comedy, the camaraderie, or the cause, you’ll leave knowing you’ve played a vital role in sustaining Hawaii’s cultural heart.
