Eddie Sax, the comedy juggler who founded the Honolulu Comedy Club in the 1980s, will return to O'ahu with stand-up favorite Bo Irvine, joining him in a series of performances beginning at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Turtle Bay Resort. The pair then performs July 2, 5 and 7 at the Turtle Bay, with an 8 p.m. show July 6 at Sharkey's Comedy Club in 'Aiea. Sax brought emerging and known comics to the Islands — funny guys such as George Lopez and Brad Garrett — over an eight-year run beginning in the late 1980s. Irvine launched his comedy career as an upstart stand-up discovered by Sax in an open-mike night. Tickets for the shows are $15, available at the door. For information, call 531-4242.

FINAL WORD

"The camp itself is ... I'll be honest. It's more of a vacation here. ... As soon as I got out of the hole, I met up with, like, 20 Hawaiians in the camp. ... They're all really cool, and we'd just hang out together all day."

Sunny Garcia | the former pro-surfer on his three-month term at the Taft Correctional Institution in Taft, Calif., for tax evasion, in Surfing magazine
