Manzai anyone?

Posted by Cameron on January 19, 2008

Manzai is the name for the comedian duo’s that you find in Japan. There tend to be a lot in Osaka, but they’re pretty much everywhere and anywhere. Common acts include slapsticks, making weird noises, and a punch line (usually resulting in one person getting hit with the slapstick) to wrap things up. Acts can be planned ahead of time or made up on the spot which is pretty similar to American comedians, and depending on the teams popularity they usually perform anywhere from the street to the stage.

If you and your friends want to become your own Manzai team then you can go here.
