Tokyo Comedy Bar – Bringing English-Language Comedy to Japan
2025-06-26 19:00 - 21:00
Dear SpCCJ Members and friends, Join us on June 26th for another special CLIC series event and hear from Fergal Daly, co-founder of Tokyo Comedy Bar, Japan’s first dedicated English-language comedy venue. Stand-up comedy — where one person stands alone with a mic and speaks directly to the audience — has become a global phenomenon. But in Japan, comedy has traditionally been more absurd, physical, and broad in appeal. Since around 2015, Fergal and his team have been building Tokyo’s stand-up scene show by show. In 2021, they took a major step: signing a lease in Shibuya and launching Tokyo Comedy Bar, right in the middle of a pandemic. In this talk, Fergal will share the story of starting an English-speaking comedy club in a city where English isn’t widely spoken — and doing it during a time when live events were nearly impossible. He’ll discuss the cultural challenges, business risks, and unexpected opportunities of blending global comedy with local culture. And yes, expect a few laughs along the way. Special thanks to MIDORI.so for venue support. RegistrationAbout the Speaker Fergal Daly is an Irish software engineer who has lived in Tokyo since 2011. In 2018, he reconnected with a long-lost dream: performing stand-up comedy. What began as a hobby soon became a mission to build Tokyo’s English-language comedy scene. In 2022, he co-founded Tokyo Comedy Bar, Japan’s only full-time venue dedicated to English stand-up comedy.
