Melbourne International Comedy Festival acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live. We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' spirit, imagination and rich history of storytelling and humour that is an inspiration to all Australians.

We accept the invitation to walk together with First Nations people towards a more positive future for Australia, as described in the Uluru Statement From The Heart.

Takashi Wakasugi Japanese Aussie (Japan)

Takashi Wakasugi Japanese Aussie (JPN)

Winner Directors’ Choice Award 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Japanese Boy Takashi has lived in Australia for five years. He is getting more Aussie, but he is still so Japanese. The more Aussie he becomes, the more he loves Australia. The more he loves Australia, the more he wants to write jokes about Australia. This show is about a Japanese boy who tries to show you his understanding and love about his favourite country – Australia. Big bow. Arigato.

As seen on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala, Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow and Comedy Up Late.

'Funny, clever and insightful.' ★★★★ ArtsHub

'Often quirky observations.' ★★★★ Time Out

'You can’t help but fall in love with Takashi’s demeanour.' ★★★★ The Fourth Wall
