2025 NZ International Comedy Festival with Best Foods Mayo

TAKASHI WAKASUGI
Comedy Samurai

Japanese comedy boy Takashi thinks stand-up comedy is similar to samurai. You are always alone on the stage. Kill or die. Better to be sharp and quick but also think about the space and the distance. It looks simple but is complicated. Thinking a lot but pretend to think nothing. Sensitive and timid like a cat but solid and fearless like a large cloud. Please don’t miss any strokes of his jokes and souls. As seen on the Gala, Thank God You're Here & Taskmaster Australia

'Exquisite stand-up.' ★★★★ Chortle (UK)

'Abundant pleasure... It’s a genuine joy to be insulted by him.' ★★★★ The Scotsman

'Funny, clever and insightful.' ★★★★ ArtsHub
