Takashi Wakasugi
Japan Brain
Winner Director’s Choice Award 2023 Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Nominee Most Outstanding Show 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Takashi tells his jokes in English. It’s never easy doing comedy in a second language. He still thinks about ideas and his thoughts in Japanese inside his brain. He needs to translate his ideas from his brain (in Japanese) into his jokes (in English). The more he performs comedy in English, the smoother the transitions become. Now, he believes he can express his thoughts in English almost as naturally as they come to him in Japanese.
Please take a look at how he sees Australia and the world. Please enjoy a look inside his Japan Brain. Big Bow, Arigato!
As seen on Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala, Thank God You’re Here, Spick and Specks, Guy Montgomery’s Guy-Mont Spelling Bee and Taskmaster AUS.
'Abundant pleasure... It’s a genuine joy to be insulted by him.' ★★★★ The Scotsman
Suitable for audiences 15+
Language – mild language
