Game for a laugh
Award-winning multilingual comedian and actor Yoshimoto Zenjiro will be wielding the English language this time round as he puts on his latest stand-up show, “Raw Comedy”, at Live Lounge Bkk on July 13 at 8pm.
The Japanese legend performs in English, Japanese and Korean and is capable of reaching the hearts of millions with his savvy skills on the mic. He's well known in Bangkok, having won the Stand-up Bangkok International Comedy Competition in 2015 and in the USA he came fourth in a Stand-up Competition in 2016.
Zenjiro has hosted numerous TV programs in Japan, and was also featured in TV shows such as “Just for Laughs”, “Ed Byrne Comedy Gala:, and “Japanorama” presented by Jonathan Ross on the BBC; the US Comedy Arts Festival on HBO; and “Raymann is Laat” on Dutch TV channel NTR.
Zenjiro has performed at various comedy festivals around the world, including the Just for Laughs Festivals in Montreal; HBO US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen; the Melbourne Comedy Festival; the Edinburgh Festival Fringe; and the Tokyo International Comedy Festival. In Japan, he won the ABC Manzai Competition and other prestigious prizes, and, in the US, he came in second place in the LA Comedy Store Stand-up Competition.
