What we're about

There is a burgeoning stand-up comedy scene in Tokyo: centered in Shibuya at the Tokyo Comedy Bar! This group is for anyone in Tokyo who loves having a laugh, watching great English comedy or fancies a slightly different night to your standard izakaya affair! We also have monthly Japanese shows too!

Some of these events we organise; others we are just meeting up at. We want to be a one-stop-shop for all comedy fans.

Comedy Factory Stand-Up Showcase and Open Mic

Location visible to members

A night of diverse comedy voices, where anything can happen. Witness first-hand how comedy masterpieces are born, as well as where some jokes go to die!

Comedy Factory is our mixed bill show on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting at 8pm and running for about 90 minutes. We have a mix of new comedians and more experienced ones doing longer sets - but the laughs are guaranteed!

There is an open mic part for anyone who wants to perform for the first time! Please arrive before 19:40 and ask at the bar. There is a limit to performer numbers, but we do our best to accommodate debuts.

Notes for open mic performers:

- you get a 4 minute slot. Please keep to your time.

- original jokes only; nothing from the internet.

- be respectful to the audience and we expect you to stay for the whole show!

- no hate speech

Admission for non-performers is ¥1500; you can get your ticket online in advance, or just pay on the door.

Doors open at 6:00pm for the Japanese language show at 7:00pm, so come on down to grab your drink and hang out in the bar area before the English show starts at 8:00pm.
