Unpacking Japan · What Japanese comedy school is REALLY like · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

Like this was the setup.

so like there's always these little tests right and he's not testing of course whether you're funny or not but whether you even understand what's going on yeah if you just do the same thing then like ah you're not you don't know what's going on yet so there's that like everywhere so it's a little scary it's an interesting way of testing people

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm super glad I learned comedy in Japan first.

So I think it is important to know the rules.

And by rules, I don't mean like the stiffness of comedy.

Comedy is like just flowy.

But, you know, the rules of being funny and stuff, right?

Why do people laugh, right?

There's, like, certain, like, triggers.

And so learning those and... Ah, man.

I think... Like, one...

I don't even remember the question anymore, Toby, but the first day of class, they're like, you see a banana peel in front of you.

You walk towards the banana peel.

They just pose these questions, and then they make everyone answer.

And then little by little, by the time you're the six months in, you have a different answer.

Yeah, dude.

This is like a whole... So essentially, it's like a year, year and a half, year long audition, essentially.
