Reflecting on my first standup comp…
初めてのスタンダップ大会を振り返って

Go watch the finals! 9/21 (Sun)! I have a gig I agreed to if I didn’t make the finals but go! Make that room unforgettable!

Thank you TCB (tokyocomedybar) for the experience, Yuma (yumamorikasa) and Pina (pina.presents) for your photos I definitely asked permission to use, and last but not least our lord and savior Jesus Christ (jayyamaki). Ramen.

tokyocomedybar’s 2nd annual in-house stand-up comp King of Kanto starts its preliminary round tomorrow, and I’m on it! It’s going to be a fire of a competition, please come along!!

In other news, I’m battling Tokyo’s spittin’ Brit stoaties in one of the biggest nights in the history of English comedy in Tokyo... I mean look at that list of comedians that’s not me and the list of networks I’ve never been featured on!

The Tokyo International Comedy Festival is coming up, bigger than last year. People in the Tokyo scene, especially the TCB staff are all running around, exhausted, stressed, but we’re hoping this pays off. 

##################

To get a lil nostalgic — some years back I was a Japanese college student in Tokyo religiously listening to Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, finally feeling like I found what I want to do with my life… while also dreading the fact that I’m from a country where performing English comedy should surely be a pipe dream.

Now I get to be part of a comedy festival, performing stand-up, roast battles, improv, sharing the stage with top comedians in the span of 2 weeks! 

This could be the start of a new international comedy hub in Asia, and anyone could help it happen! Please come along, even if you’re just looking for a place to escape the heat☀️❄️

Back in September 2024, I was a rookie comic making his roast debut, stripping in front of comedy greats like Pat Barker, Keith Carey, and Kim Congdon. I was hopeful of what would come in the future.

But then it took just one fat joke at jjwakrat.

Now he’s matched me up against one of the biggest Japanese standup comic, and current Roast Battle Tokyo Champ, yukinivez.

I fear my ancestors will be ashamed of this battle. Oh wait, they won’t understand English.

One cold Tokyo spring day, I got off an old rusty commuter train that smelled like sadness and leftover salarymen musk, walked past a run-down snack bar whose name was a terrible pun on “Evangelion”, buzzed the entrance of what looked like a secret spy base.

A raspy, vibrant voice welcomed me through the speakerphone as the heavy metallic door unlocked with a clang. I went through the entrance to ride an old elevator with a rectangular window on the door, like the thing that was in “The Grudge”. You know, the one where the lady gets on, and it goes up, but the ghost boy is looking through the window? Did you watch “The Grudge”? I didn’t. I couldn’t sleep alone for 8 months after I watched “The Ring”.

Anyways, I was welcomed by a tall, blonde lady to a room filled with things way too artistic for my writing skills. There were plants. Weird ‘80s music that went bleep bloop. Pictures. She took photos of me while laughing hysterically. She laughed harder when I danced so I danced around a lot. She gave me some tea as well. It tasted good.

About an hour and a half later, I got pooped back onto a weird Tokyo neighborhood and had some Chinese food. It was great, but I shouldn’t have ordered rice on top of noodles.

And after all of that, alextthomas gave me these professional headshots! Comics, entertainers, performers in Japan, DM Alex on her Instagram account to have an English-speaking professional photographer take your headshots for posters and media releases at an affordable price!

Tonight! We’re doing a Japanese learning (related) stand up / game show at Tokyo Comedy Bar!

I didn’t know how to promote this show so here’s a little video of me growing up confused between two languages. Which led up to the thing you will see on stage.

I thought I finally had a favorite media that I can talk with American kids, then they all started watching Family Guy. That sucked.

O-NO! (One Night Only!) is a monthly show at tokyocomedybar where comedians are shown a prompt and have to create a completely improvised joke on the spot. 

Whether you’re a fan of unplanned accidents or just want to enjoy watching your least favorite comedian suffer, this is a show for you!

I would’ve called Chris my comedy dad, except he started standup at roughly the same time as me, and he starts acting strange and rushes to the nearest toilet whenever he hears the word “Dad” from me.

Huge shout out to Tokyo champion Jay Yamaki (jayyamaki) and tenga_global for the “10 out of TENGA”. He’s representing Tokyo in the roastbattle world championships at London! He’s super Japanese I swear!

Christopher Natsuume (ninesquirrels), born in 1973, is an American video game developer from Texas USA. He is most well known for producing Far Cry, and the Monsters Inc. video game (2.5/10 on IGN). An active hiker, he is also known for introducing himself as C*itoris Summerplum to unaware victims, based on a boomer dad joke on the Japanese meaning of his name.

I feel like the shelf life has already passed on this topic but what the heck. I do want to build more jokes about hot springs because I love hot springs and that’s after only experiencing half of what they offer.

I also need to buy a proper camera.

I really did think those were the lyrics. I also can’t fathom making this work in English without a full-on Power Point™️ — but I am a little happy with this one because I managed to add an extra tagline.
