Hi I’m Showko. I’m a Japanese Comedian, Ventriloquist and Rakugo Performer (Japanese Sit-Down Comedian) based in Melbourne. I love performing for diverse audiences, ages and nationalities. Many people (and reviews – check them out here 😁) say that my show is original, quirky and hilarious!

I perform all over the world and can entertain from comedy clubs to corporate events, network TV to school shows & cultural events…I’m truly a comedian without borders!

Showko returns to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival to premiere a new version of “One Night Sushi Stand” (Melbourne Festival of Puppetry 2023 Sell Out Show) promising an even crazier and funnier experience, complete with live music.
