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

Also not for them, you wanting to write a special, I imagine you will introduce yourself, maybe not in the formal way that you had to do in Watanabe, but you'll also share your socials.

And people might think, oh, he's going to do that kind of special, but it might not be the case at all.

In a way, showing your skill set as a comedian to show that you can adapt yourself to the audience and perform following what's funny for an audience in Japan, what's funny for you, what's funny for people in another culture.

A lot of work, a lot of writing ahead and a lot of interesting projects that people can follow along on your social medias.

We'll make sure to have everything linked so people can go check out.

And they can learn some Japanese words, learn some English words if they're interested too.

And maybe see and find and check out your next shows and come see your life because I think as a comedian, although making these one-shot videos is fun and interesting, the live crowd interaction is always probably where the comedy is at.

It was my pleasure.

It was really interesting to learn more about how this all works, what you learn and kind of where this took you on this long journey.

And hopefully people will go and enjoy and have fun with your sketches, your skits and soon your special that we will be able to see.

We'll hold you accountable for that and see when it comes out and make sure people can go check it out.

Thank you everyone for listening and watching.

This was Unpacking Japan and we will see you in the next episode.

Take care.

Peace out.

What a journey.
