Lahaina oscillates between tourist-economy dependence and West Maui community. Front Street rooms fill with visitors chasing resort-town fantasy, while Kelawea hosts the locals who actually live here year-round. Puamana draws the established residents. Wahikuli and Launiupoko add the residential layers. The comedy here navigates the tension between serving the visitors and preserving the permanent. Open mics become neutral ground where both economies sit together. The comics who honor Lahaina's dual identity find audiences grateful someone saw the working town behind the sunset cruises—the one that stays when the tourists fly home.
