New Show!

MOTHER

One Night Only in Melbourne!
Before TikTok there was Rakugo … 400 years of stories still trending.
Step into the wonderfully quirky world of Showko, the only fully trained Rakugo performer outside of Japan. Known for her offbeat imagination, razor-sharp wit, and surreal humour, Showko fuses tradition with the unexpected in her brand-new solo show:
“Mother” – a time-bending, sci-fi comedy about family problems, love and laughter across generations.
If you love Japanese culture, puppets, storytelling, or just want a comedy night unlike anything else in Melbourne – this is your chance.
One night only. Don’t miss it.
7th Nov 6:30pm Friday

“Waku Waku” Melbourne🇯🇵

🎉 I just started a brand new Japanese YouTube channel 🥹💕 When people think of Melbourne, they usually go, “Oh yeah… penguins?” 🐧😆 But there’s so much more to this quirky city! That’s why I created this show—to share the real Melbourne with you!
It’s a city of art, comedy, amazing food, stylish vibes, warm hearts, and down to earth people 💃🎭🍷✨
Even if you don’t understand Japanese, come along for the ride—there’s a talking puppet involved. Yep, you read that right. 😂
👉 Watch the show & don’t forget to subscribe to the channel!
