Rakugo in English came to California for a few rare performances of this classic Japanese entertainment. The performer is seated, uses minimal props and performs all voices in the story.
This story of udon noodles is a good example of rakugo. The circuitous story is fast, has many details, then finally arrives at the punch line.

  • This Rakugo is quite good, but it's just a shame that the language shift bottlenecks the delivery a bit.
