Looking for something different to do on a Saturday night in Kyoto?
Join Kansai Comedy for a weekly night of live English stand-up comedy in the heart of Kyoto.
Every Saturday, we bring together local favorites, international comedians, first-time performers, and visiting headliners for a show that’s never the same twice.
Hosted by American comedian Ethan Tam and Australian comedian Dylan Lamb , our shows are all about fresh material, fearless comedy, and creating a welcoming space for everyone—whether you’ve lived in Japan for years or just arrived yesterday.
Our comedians come from all over the world, including Australia, Brazil, the United States, Venezuela, Taiwan, Japan, the UK, and many more, each bringing their own unique perspective on life, culture, travel, and the strange experience of living abroad.
We also regularly feature special performances, including English Rakugo, guest comedians touring Japan, and surprise visiting headliners.
What to Expect
🎤 Live stand-up comedy in English
🌍 Local and international comedians
😂 A completely different lineup every week
🍺 Cozy bar atmosphere in Kyoto’s famous Pontocho district
🍸 Drinks available throughout the show
🤝 Meet fellow expats, travelers, students, and locals
🎭 Occasionally featuring English Rakugo and special guest performers
Whether you’re a comedy fan, travelling through Japan, studying English, or simply looking to meet interesting people, you’ll find a fun and welcoming crowd here.
Come by yourself or bring your friends—many people attend alone, and it’s a great way to meet new people in Kyoto.
Admission
Our Kyoto shows operate on a Pay What You Want basis.
Entry is free, and at the end of the show we simply ask you to donate whatever you think the experience was worth.
We’d appreciate your support.
Every contribution helps us continue building Kyoto’s English comedy scene.
You can reserve your seat through Meetup or Peatix, or simply walk in if seats are still available.
Venue: Ki Bar, Pontocho, Kyoto
Doors open at 7:30 PM.
The show starts promptly at 8:00 PM, so please arrive a little early to grab a drink and get settled.
See you on Saturday—we’d love to laugh with you!
