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.
LOVE HOW OPEN HE IS , INSIDE AND OUT THE REALNESS POWERFULL OFAS AND ALOFAS . RESPECT & FAMILY GOD BLESS TOFINGA!
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
Surely the goat David Tua next
Ko taku hangareka o tēnei rautau. My 2nd most fave comedian ever. Fa'afetai tele lava, Tofiga! #Faaaloalo #Tautua
I feel your loss because I am there too. Thank you for your vulnerability, humour, and humility “wrapped” in love and wisdom.
E mihi ana e te tungāne me to whānau hoki! Much love to you and your whānau Tofiga... A shout-out from us... We appreciate you sharing your light with us and the world 🙏🏾❤🤍🖤
Why did this podcast have to end?!? I could listen to you guys and Tofiga talk story all day! He always cracked me up. Makes my day. Glad to hear his stories and life that mad him who he is today. Miss his comedy shows. Just a naturally funny guy and you guys are hilarious also. Aloha and Talofa you guys! Chee Hu!
Time does not heal the loss of a loved one.
The Man Himself Tofiga. Mean podcast Brother's. #FALEALUPOSTRONG
Autonomous 😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing & then Tofiga said 😂😂😂
Tofiga thank you for your love to your shows and work you do for our community. Faafetai lau tautua. ♥️🙏🏽
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.
I listened to this whole podcast and it felt like 5minutes ❤ 🔥
Tofiga decribes our people to the T 💯 💜
What an awesome Podcast. Thank you for sharing your stories Tofiga. Keep up the great work lads. Alofa atu 👏👏👏💙
You are a very wise man brother! Blessings to you and your whanau uso! Aotearoa is a far better place with you in it.Kiaora from a maori bro.

The bald guy can't talk and ask his question properly it's annoying. Enjoy the interview until he ask a question and he sound like he's practising. The other guy is amazing
