The Osaka area is the undisputed headquarters of comedy, but it is this Namba Grand kagetsu that pushes up and strongly exaggerates that impression.
Even for those who are not interested in comedy, Namba Grand kagetsu is an authoritative spot that makes you feel as if it were a sacred place like Koshien in baseball, Hanazono in rugby, or Budokan in music.
The Yoshimoto Manzai Theater on the opposite side of the building is a theater with a short history, having been in operation for only eight years. While the theater is primarily focused on discovering the next generation of comedy stars who will be popular on TV and in the M-1 Grand Prix, Namba Grand kagetsu only allows completed comedians to appear.
Detailed names will be introduced later, but this is a sacred stage where only selected performers, such as Kamigata manzai (Kansai-style comic storytellers) and veteran comedians who are known as masters, and comedians with outstanding achievements and name recognition, can perform.

Comedy for all ages and genders is especially good for sightseeing!



The comedians who perform at the Yoshimoto Manzai Theater aim to compete in the M-1 Grand Prix and King of Contest, and pursue the latest material.
They choose material that fits the current trends of the times, develop inventive material, and in some cases, they have polished material that is crammed full of blurbs at high speed, which is known as "competitive manzai".
These are also very funny and provide heat and stimulation, but in this respect, NGK offers more of a traditional entertainment style, which is what comedy is all about.
There is blurriness and there is comedy. It is a comedy for the masses that everyone can understand, entertaining men and women of all ages.

A sacred place where only the most prestigious comedians representing Kamigata and Kansai can stand!



As introduced in another article, "Yoshimoto Manzai Gekijo" has nearly 50 groups of members who belong to the theater and are benched as fixed regulars, but this Namba Grand kagetsu has no restrictions on members.
The performers are all skilled comedians from all over Japan, especially from Kansai, the sacred land of comedy in the Kamigata region of Japan.
Here is a live environment that makes you keenly aware of the magnitude of the presence of master comedians and very popular national-level comedians who would like to be onstage doing stories for the rest of their lives.
