⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

Kathy Griffin: New Face, New Tour

Saturday, May 16 at 7:00 PM

"This is the premier ticket of the weekend; it beats the typical Waikiki bar scene with high-caliber comedy at an iconic venue."

PRO TIP: Park at the Chinatown Gateway Plaza (1031 Nuʻuanu Ave) for a flat rate; it is a safer, well-lit 3-minute walk to the theatre compared to street hunting.
