About this tour

What to expect
You'll arrive at the venue in Asakusa and have 30 minutes to settle in, meet Ryo and other guests, and chat informally. The host will share his perspective as a local standup comedian and encourage mingling. Once the group is gathered, Ryo performs a 45-minute comedy set drawing on his lived experiences in Tokyo—his karate background and time working rickshaws inform his material about Japanese culture and history. The humour stays family-friendly throughout.
After the performance ends, you'll stick around for drinks (included) and continue socialising with the group in the Asakusa area. The whole experience is designed to feel conversational and interactive rather than formal.
