“Nandeyanen!”
This is a standard phrase used by the “tsukkomi“ (straight man) in a Japanese comedy duo. How does this sound to people from abroad?
Join us in the ICC Comedy Talk Night and learn about Japanese “boke“ (funny man) and tsukkomi and make your Japanese friends laugh!
There will be commentary by a humor researcher from Norway and special live performances by the members of a Waseda comedy circle!
If you love comedy or are interested in the diversity in humor, don’t miss this priceless opportunity!
