Thet too have their own form than stand-up comedy, though the performaers sit-down rather than stand-up! This traditional performing art, the origines of which can be traced back some 400 years is called Rakugo. In Rakugo, the performer can be a narrator (as is commen in Western style comedy), but usually he becomes the actual characters in the story. These characters converse without a narrator coming between them. The change for the performaer is switching from are distinct character to another. Each character represent exaggerated aspects of the human personality which we can call readily related to. The predicaments which they find themselves in are part of everyday life. Until recently, the rich art of Rakugo has not been accessible to non-Japanese speakers. Now, young energetic performers keen for the Internaionalization of Rakugo are presenting their shows in English. Afterall, Rakugo deal with human nature and universal themes which people can respond to no matter which country they are now". -- FROM CONTAINER.
