Comedy in both languages make me laugh (even though English and Japanese are very different!). I've done stand-up comedy only in English but I love making people laugh in Japanese too. So perhaps I will try stand-up in Japanese and find out!

I look up every comedians. They are such hardworking and lovely people and I respect them so much. But I think I've been influenced by British comedy. The first time when I watched British sitcom, it blew my mind.

I fell in love with British comedy when I arrived the UK, and I think this passion made me do it!

Hello! Stand-up comedy wise, double act (called Manzai) is major in Japan. But we also have Rakugo which is story telling by one person, but sitting on stage, not stand up!

Yes, I am performing at Glastonbury this Saturday and will be at Edinburgh Fringe for the whole month! (Comedy Reserve Pleasance at 9:30pm) And my website with gig list is coming soon so please keep an eye out!
