With a career spanning over five decades, Frank DeLima isn’t just a comedian; he is a cultural institution in the Hawaiian Islands.

The Man of a Thousand Faces
Known for his high-energy performances and iconic costumes, Frank has an uncanny ability to transform into a dizzying array of characters. Whether he’s donning a wig to lampoon local politicians or slipping into his classic “Portugee” persona, his comedy strikes a chord with anyone who calls the islands home.

His repertoire includes:
• Musical Parodies: Bitingly funny rewrites of popular hits that address everything from the rising cost of poi to the latest headlines.

• Improvisational Wit: A legendary ability to work a room, making every audience member feel like they’re part of the family (and occasionally the punchline).

A Legacy of Aloha
Beyond the nightclubs and concert halls, Frank’s heart belongs to the community. Through the Frank DeLima Student Works, he has spent decades visiting schools across the state, using humor to deliver vital messages about education, sobriety, and positive choices to Hawaii’s youth.
