About
Rakugo is a 400-year tradition of comic storytelling in Japan. The stories have been passed down from Master to Apprentice, and have been bringing hilarity to Japanese theaters through the centuries up unto the present day.
Katsura Sunshine is the first Western Master of Rakugo in 100 years, and only the second in history.
He is the 15th apprentice of the great Rakugo Master Katsura Bunshi VI.
Sunshine is currently in his 6th year of performing Rakugo on Broadway, third year in London’s West End, and performs all over the world.
As a cultural ambassador, Sunshine was chosen as bilingual MC for the opening reception of the G20 Summit in Osaka in 2019.
Come for an evening of laughter and leave with a piece of Japan in you heart!
The King of Kimono Comedy!
