    This man is a legend and an icon! I can't tell you the amount of boys that made the 'Uncle Sam' fob uncle their personality at school even though they were dry. Tofiga's work is timeless! A true legend.

    Wowwww honestly blown away with the man himself Tofiga. Honestly had me in tears when he mentioned the passing of hes parents. Malo Tofiga le onosa’i malo le loto tele. Your parents are so proud of who you are today. Keep doing what you do best. Wish I got to hear more of your upbringing in music but oh well Viia le Alii I mea uma ua e faia Faamanuia Tele Le Atua 🤎🤎

    This man is just a Pacific icon and will always be remembered as the man who made Pacific Comedy a global theme of comedy. Will always be in debt to him for the majority of the laughs I had throughout my life

    This man is so genuine, funny, loving and simply incredible. I started watching he’s standup about 2 years ago and was instantly hooked, the island culture really shines through he’s standup. Identity issues, youth social issues and mental health issues are so common in this era, we’ve lost our ways through migration, cultural traditions/practices and the lack of acceptance/acknowledgment from the “system”. I’m not just referring to islanders, I’m speaking for all cultures, I’m a first generation Greek living in Australia and it’s the same thing here, facing racial discrimination as a kid.
