Winner of the BBC New Comedy Award and Time Out’s One to Watch, UK-based Japanese comedian Yuriko Kotani is going to tell stories of her experiences and thoughts as a work in progress in her “second language”.

As seen on Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central, Pls Like (BBC3), Paul Hollywood Eats Japan (Channel 4) and Mandy (BBC2).

Her debut show “Somosomo” was Guardian’s recommended show, 2Northdown’s Top Ten Picks at Edinburgh Fringe and received those reviews:

“A brilliantly performed, well-structured & wonderfully unique set.”

★★★★★ fringebiscuit

“A must-see full of heart, passion and laughs.”

★★★★  Broadway Baby

“A superb show that leaves the audience feeling inspired and hopeful”

★★★★ Wee Review

“…genuinely hilarious and I will never look at the term ‘ish’ in quite the same way again.”

★★★★ Clownster

Restoration Levy – £1.50 of the advertised on-sale ticket price goes to Machynlleth Comedy Festival for the continued development and improvement of the event.
