Overview

The Yurakucho Comedy Expo, affectionately known as “Shohaku,” returns for its fourth installment with a lineup more powerful than ever. Over the course of three days, the Yurakucho Yomiuri Hall in Tokyo will host four distinct performances, each curated and produced by a leading name in the Japanese comedy scene. The central concept for 2026 is “The live show we want to do now,” allowing comedians to break free from traditional formats and present their most innovative and experimental material.

From the sharp-witted duo Harisenbon to the surreal energy of Mamatart and the seasoned charm of Nasunakanishi, the expo offers a diverse look at modern Japanese humor. The event concludes with a highly anticipated special session produced by Nagano featuring actor Takumi Saitoh, which carries a mature rating for a truly unrestrained experience. This expo is an essential destination for anyone looking to experience the cutting edge of Tokyo’s vibrant comedy culture.
