Blogs and video about my life in Tokyo. I've been here 6 years and counting. Though I whinge a lot, I love this city and Japanese culture.

I also have an audio/text blog on my webpage TokyoCooney.com where I post opinion pieces on different aspects of life for foreigners in Tokyo.

To answer your questions I have a FAQ, please read this and watch my FYI videos before mailing me. My response time to e-mail is very long. Apologies.

My Comedy/Touring Vids

The videos here represent my attempts at english language comedy. As well as some videos I made while doing shows on the road. Its a strange thing doing comedy in a foreign land. Also, it means alot of the humour is meant for those who have lived or at least traveled here.
