Augie Tulba

Augie T. is a professional comedian, actor and radio personality from Hawaii. He has been performing for over 30 years, yet was named one of the US’s top undiscovered comedians in 2019 by Thrillist magazine.

Augie has been named “funniest comic” in Hawaii and one of Hawaii’s top 100 influential Filipinos. He was awarded the best comedy show by Honolulu Magazine and has won 2 Na HokuHano Hano awards which are Hawaii’s equivalent to the Grammy Award.

Augie has appeared in numbers television programs including “The Wayne Brady Show”, “Hawaii Five-O” and “Magnum P.I” and was elected to Honolulu City Council in 2020.

This year we are planning “Laugh under the Stars” at the Waikiki Shell in October. The show will be a fundraiser for the B.R.A.V.E. Foundation, a non-profit founded in 2013 and an acronym for “Be Respectful and Value Everyone.” The organization was founded by my daughter Mahealani Sims-Tulba. B.R.A.V.E. has been recognized Internationally by the Princess Diana Foundation and Hawaii State Senate. In November, Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi asked for Mahealani for her support with Bill 52, which would help to curb bullying on city property and in city programs. 

Over the past 20 years, Augie Tulba has become one of the most sought-after public speakers in Hawaii, moderators, and emcees in the State. His dynamic presence and ability to keep audiences engaged and excited sets him apart as a keynote speaker for both large and small venues. Whether he is speaking in a packed theatre or moderating in a more intimate room setting, Augie is able to connect with and inspire every type of audience.
