Yoshimoto Kogyo, Japan — "Yoshimoto Comedy Special"

Yoshimoto Kogyo, a representative of Japan's comedy hall of fame, will hold a special performance in Shanghai!

Rooted in Osaka and beloved by audiences for more than 60 years, "Yoshimoto Shinkigeki" and top artists who are popular in Japanese TV and theaters will gather together to present a "special performance that connects China and Japan with laughter" to Shanghai audiences.

In the performance, you will personally experience: the interaction of "playing dumb and 吐槽 (roasting)" that transcends language barriers, the exquisitely structured manzai performance, the short plays that create 笑点 (laughs) with expressions and pauses, and other essences of Japanese orthodox comedy art.

This performance will use the "laughter power" that transcends language to make everyone smile, allowing Chinese audiences to fully appreciate the profound heritage and vigorous vitality of Japanese comedy culture.

"Yoshimoto Shinkigeki" is a representative stage comedy in Japan. It was originally named "Yoshimoto Variety" and was born on March 1, 1951. It has been loved by audiences of all generations for many years. Its characteristics lie in the distinctive characters performing fast-paced dialogue dramas and the humanistic story development that unearths laughs from daily life. Today, the troupe still takes the Osaka Namba Grand Kagetsu Theater as its base and conducts many performances throughout the year, bringing laughter and vitality to audiences across the country.

This Shanghai performance will focus on the popular leader Ai Sakai and fully demonstrate the unique charm of "Yoshimoto Shinkigeki" to Shanghai audiences.
