Tokyo English Comedy Night: Honest Review & Tips

Alright, you are possibly thinking about hitting up the Tokyo English Standup Comedy Night, right? So, you might be looking for someone who’s actually been there, done that, and can, in a way, give you the inside scoop, or something like that? We can get into that. I get that, seriously. Going to any kind of show when you’re, say, traveling or perhaps fairly new to a spot can sometimes feel like a bit of a gamble, or something. It is almost like you are not completely sure if it’s going to be a total blast or a bit of a snooze-fest. I went, I saw, and, well, I’m going to tell you pretty much all about it, as I was saying. No holding back!

What To think about before going

Firstly, what’s your style? If you want gut-busting laughs with absolutely zero boundaries, and I mean zero, then it might be right up your alley, sort of. It is a bit edgy, yet? It also might push a few boundaries. Actually, I was quite shocked at what some of the jokes were like, alright? A little heads-up is often a good thing. Do you hate to be in the front? Perhaps you do, and that is OK, because some comics like to pull people into the act. Just be armed with the right knowledge before attending! That is what I was trying to explain to you!

The Vibe of the Show is actually pretty fun

This really makes a big impact on your experience, it certainly did with me. It’s in a pretty cool location in Tokyo, which kind of sets the mood, or something, very near some bars and restaurants in the area too it’s almost like you are in a familiar environment. You have people from everywhere! Students to CEO’s, like your local watering hole, I should imagine, really. Anyhow, you feel like you can unwind from the everyday. That is the feeling.

The Type of Comedy is very important to understand

OK, the humor? What is that actually like? Well, there’s a range. That I can tell you straight away. The lineup is very different, very, really. They each bring their own slant to the stage. As I mentioned earlier, some push limits; a few are fairly clean. Some of the subjects range from daily life, to stuff only other stand-ups might understand, that they seem to do bits on. What I was saying is this. Know your own tastes, and be ready for anything! It is quite liberating!

The People that put on the show?

You want to get to know these people! They are more or less the face of the brand! Also you know their shows will probably be what you can expect moving forward too it’s almost like you have built up a rapport. Are they newbies? Nah. Do they know stand-up and how to entertain crowds? Oh yes. You might just get hooked!

What you can learn attending?

So, you can expect an evening that will probably stretch your sides and get those facial muscles working, I would have said! Plus, who doesn’t really love to find a crew of very funny people when you’re away from home, you know? Seriously, laughing’s kind of good exercise, actually! Anyway, it’s a nice change from binge-watching television, right? All joking aside. In reality, laughter connects folks, in a way. And when you are on your travels? I find you need that.

Final Thoughts?

Give it a whirl, I reckon. Look into it. Try something new. That is a good philosophy, I suppose. Is it ideal? Probably not. Should you broaden your horizons? Why not? Enjoy the time. Meet other new people and discover if that is, in some respects, for you. One thing, really. Don’t hold back!
