In WHAM!!, Brian Hohatsu blends family stories, cultural mix-ups, and everyday absurdities into an hour that’s sharp, playful, and sneakily heartfelt. He riffs on being half-Japanese, half-Caucasian in Arizona (“No means no in both languages”), surviving marriage to a record-setting college athlete, raising kids who fact-check ghost stories on Google, and living with Turbo, his blind, deaf “Helen Keller of dogs.” Along the way, he skewers retirees playing air hockey, Facebook oversharers, and an actual WAM reunion concert that was just Andrew Ridgeley doing “Jitterbug” for two hours. Anchored by the wisdom of his late father and his 102-year-old aunt, Hohatsu shows that comedy, like life, isn’t about how hard the joke hits—it’s about how many laughs you can keep moving forward.
