The Story Behind Comedy Reading Play CONTELLING
CONTELLING, a comedy reading play founded in 2019, mixes Japanese-style comedic sketches, called “conte,” with storytelling. I Told You It Was a Secret is written and directed by Yudai Iwasaki of the comedy unit Kamomental. The story centers on the invented “Secret Confession Society,” where people gather to unload secrets they can’t hold. Every confession from small personal problems to unfair experiences and exaggerated stories brings unexpected comedy and unforgettable moments.
