About Me

Here's a sample of my appearance on Comedy Central's "Live At Gotham":

And here is another clip:

Hey! I'm Paul Ogata, a stand-up comedian from Hawaii. I've moved to California, but I perform anywhere from Hollywood to Hong Kong, from Times Square to Tokyo. Catch me at a comedy club near you. If I'm not scheduled to be there, send your favorite club, college, or television show an email requesting that they bring me in. Or you could hire me to perform just for you at your house. That would be creepy, but if you have the money I'll be your private comedy monkey. Yeah, I'm a whore.

My Interests
