Brand New Show for Comedy Festival Tour 2025.
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. The Spiral of Gratitude, Respect, Despair and Suffer. Takashi puts his Life and Passion to this comedy show.
Please don’t miss any Strokes of his Jokes and Souls.

Certifiably the best way to cope with returning to work after the holidays, this cult classic returns to Comedy Republic for two shows only following a UK tour spanning the Edinburgh Fringe and England's iconic Latitude Festival.
With six comedians performing six different PowerPoints (none of which were created by your boss), this is a line-up show like no other.
Hosted by the agents of Microsoft Office chaos, Sweeney Preston and Ethan Cavanagh, this wild showcase is easy to follow and begging for technical difficulties.
So grab your family, friends and anyone else who has endured boring work presentations or tedious uni slides as we all heal together.
With past guests such as Ray O'Leary, He Huang, Blake Pavey, Emma Holland, and Bron Lewis, it’ll be more stuffed with goodness than your leftover Christmas turkey.
Acts announced soon....

Due to unforeseen circumstances (my management declaring bankruptcy with no warning whatsoever) I have been left in a hole financially.
100% of the proceeds from this show will go to the artist (me) and be used to fund my 2025 tour (flights, festival costs etc.)
The show will be an hour of my new material for me to trial before the 2025 tour so it will be loose and fun. Thanks so much for your support!

This is a WORK IN PROGRESS.
It is also… possibly… a crowdwork show. Or is it?
Don’t worry, I’m not going to pick on you. Or am I?*
This may be a disaster. Or will it?
Regardless, “Or is it?” “Or am I?” And “Or will it?” are all questions that we can hope to answer, or at least ask, by the end of this series of WIPs.
You can also expect:
• Brand new never before told stories and jokes
from my spreadsheet (tbh sometimes the first time is the best, the
golden high that I will spend the rest of the year chasing)
•
On-stage floundering (which is, cruelly, often more entertaining than
anything polished)
• Fun props? I dunno. No spoilers, but I’ve got
some ideas…
Perhaps it will be the greatest thing ever. Perhaps it will veer off into a completely unknown territory and we’ll discover that there ARE still original ideas left! Perhaps it will be an hour (roughly) of fumbling through what’s funny and what’s not and what might eventually make up a show, of sorts. Perhaps I’ll ask you what you do for a living, or if anyone’s from out of town, or if there are any couples in tonight? Perhaps you’ll lose all respect for me, or perhaps we’ll all fall in love.
