Bumatai’s students
do stand-upLOCAL COMEDIAN Andy Bumatai is expanding his involvement over at Brew Moon in Ward Centre -- in addition to his performances on Wednesday nights with Augie Tulba, Bumatai will be at the restaurant on Sundays with students from his new stand-up comedy class. The classes started on Monday with Bumatai over at the Academy of Film and Television, and students will have four opportunities starting this Sunday to perform in front of a live audience in an actual club atmosphere. Here's a great opportunity to see what could be the next generation of comedians from Hawaii. Shows run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Brew Moon; call 596-8300 for more info ...

DID YOU KNOW it's possible to get a double dose of Hapa at Chai's Island Bistro, now that Barry Flanagan and Kelii Kanealii have each found new partners?

Jerry Santos and the Brothers Cazimero perform there regularly, and special guests are always showing up. (On Easter Sunday, it'll be local diva Melveen Leed.) But back to Hapa -- head over to Chai's tomorrow for Flanagan's night on stage with Nathan Aweau from 7 to 9 p.m. On Sunday, it's Kanealii's turn; he'll play with Bobby Ingano from 7 to 8:45 p.m. Call 585-0011 ...

Best thing about this concert? It's absolutely free! Call 931-1330 for a complete schedule of Full Moon concerts at the bandstand ...
