"Comedy is my MINISTRY!" with Tofiga Fepulea'i | Mandate | Ep. 87

This man is a legend and an icon! I can't tell you the amount of boys that made the 'Uncle Sam' fob uncle their personality at school even though they were dry. Tofiga's work is timeless! A true legend.

LOVE HOW OPEN HE IS , INSIDE AND OUT THE REALNESS POWERFULL OFAS AND ALOFAS . RESPECT & FAMILY GOD BLESS TOFINGA!

Wowwww honestly blown away with the man himself Tofiga. Honestly had me in tears when he mentioned the passing of hes parents. Malo Tofiga le onosa’i malo le loto tele. Your parents are so proud of who you are today. Keep doing what you do best. Wish I got to hear more of your upbringing in music but oh well Viia le Alii I mea uma ua e faia Faamanuia Tele Le Atua 🤎🤎

This man is just a Pacific icon and will always be remembered as the man who made Pacific Comedy a global theme of comedy. Will always be in debt to him for the majority of the laughs I had throughout my life

I feel your loss because I am there too. Thank you for your vulnerability, humour, and humility “wrapped” in love and wisdom.

Surely the goat David Tua next

Ko taku hangareka o tēnei rautau. My 2nd most fave comedian ever. Fa'afetai tele lava, Tofiga! #Faaaloalo #Tautua

I listened to this whole podcast and it felt like 5minutes ❤ 🔥

I absolutely love that! If you're scared, do it scared. Now that I'm grown I have also learnt that too, rather scared than not doing it at all. ❤❤

This man is so genuine, funny, loving and simply incredible. I started watching he’s standup about 2 years ago and was instantly hooked, the island culture really shines through he’s standup. Identity issues, youth social issues and mental health issues are so common in this era, we’ve lost our ways through migration, cultural traditions/practices and the lack of acceptance/acknowledgment from the “system”. I’m not just referring to islanders, I’m speaking for all cultures, I’m a first generation Greek living in Australia and it’s the same thing here, facing racial discrimination as a kid.

Well done, that was a great podcast, lol. I agree Tofiga, for Samoans, there is no school for comedy....our life experiences became our material, lol..., when you've lived through it, that's how we tell it... Samoans, naturally love to laugh and tell jokes, and our timing can be impeccable 😂 Tofiga, thanks for sharing - alofas to you and your aiga.

Autonomous 😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing & then Tofiga said 😂😂😂

Loved the discussion, thats us whanau, uplift one another

Malo lava Uso! Manaia tele le faasoa, what an amazing human being, this interview was so awesome, the banter, the humour, and especially the wise lived experiences shared. Faamanuia le Atua ia te outou uma ❤💙
