Bu Laia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bu La'ia (born as Shawn Kaui Hill in Waimanalo, Hawaii) is a Hawaiian comedian known for his use of Hawaiian pidgin and large, bushy head of hair. He released a comic musical album entitled False Crack???. He also attained notoriety in a brief campaign for the governorship of Hawaii for the Natural Law Party in 2002.

Bu is pidgin for "Bull". The name "Bu La'ia" is a homophone of "Bull Liar" (or bullshit liar?). His name is reminiscent of the character created by Hawaiian comedian Kent Bowman, “K.K. Ka'umanua” (K.K. Cow–Manure) famous for his "Pidgin English Children's Stories".
