Hot comedy can be enjoyed at the forefront in Osaka Prefecture, the source of comedy!
Osaka Prefecture is the headquarters of comedy, and it is no exaggeration to say that Mangeki is the theater where you can feel its passion and fascination the most.
Often, people from other prefectures or those who are not familiar with comedy think that "Namba Grand kagetsu "is the most standard.
This is also not wrong, depending on your point of view, but personally, I would say that Mangueki is higher in terms of heat.
Because "Namba Grand kagetsu "is a theater that is similar to the feeling of seeing a traditional performance by master class manzai and veteran comedians.
The regular performances held here are of a relatively older age range and give the impression of being rather prestigious.
However, Mangeki is a comedy company where young comedians and other next generation hopefuls based in the Kansai region perform day and night with a glowing enthusiasm.
M-1 Grand Prix finalists and the next generation of comedy aces will gather here!
Specific names of individuals will be introduced later, but the volume zone of Mangeki is geared toward comedians with less than 15 years of artistic experience who are eligible to compete in the M-1 Grand Prix.
Any further duo will leave the members in the form of graduation. Mangeki is unique in that it is metabolized day and night and is filled with fresh, up-and-coming comedy star candidates.
For this reason, many of the comedians who advance to the finals of the M-1 Grand Prix are from Osaka, so you can find the hottest young talent of Osaka Yoshimoto.
The top tier of young Kansai comedians gather here!
As I lightly mentioned earlier, Mangeki has nearly 50 groups of members. The members of Mangeki are nearly 50 groups, and the most popular and promising performers of Osaka Yoshimoto, who have been performing for up to 15 years, perform every day.
To be precise, members with up to 15 years of artistic experience are treated as the first group "Polar Members ", and the next "Polar Members "with less artistic experience are treated as "Sho Members ".
They will differ depending on the type of live performance and will be introduced later.
Featured and popular comedians! (Polar Members)
Here are some of the most notable and popular members of "extreme members ".
Until a few years ago, Mr. Milk Boy and Mr. Lookout were reigning at the top of the list.
He has now graduated due to his artistic career. Currently treated as top rated are Longcoat Daddy, who has reached the finals of the M-1 Grand Prix 2021 and the King of Contest twice, and Nippon's president, who has reached the finals of the King of Contest three times.
They too continue to stand in the theater day and night, and you can go see them every day.
Other notable performers include Kotei, who is known for his unique style of manzai, and Takine, who has made it to the finals of the M-1 Grand Prix, as well as Renne Karashi and Sayaka Saya.
It is very enjoyable to keep an eye out for these members early on, as it is at the semi-final to final level of the M-1 Grand Prix that you will find such a great lineup.
It was once a gateway to success for young talent, with members such as Akusei Shimobori.
"Pole member "is the pinnacle of Kansai comedy.
The next generation among the next generation "Sho members "will not be forgotten!
Earlier I introduced you to "Polar Member ". This is the very top tier of the national class, but I would also like to introduce the next generation to "Polar Member "Taru "Sho Member "
This is also a grainy group of members, which makes it more enjoyable for those who really want to buy blue chips.
This will be a great show for core comedy fans.
In some cases, legendary live performances? We find a mass of talent!
"Sho members "will generally perform at "Sho Live "while engaging in friendly competition among young people only.
"Many of those who join as pole members "start out here and later perform as members who will carry Japan on their shoulders.
In horse racing, it seems to be similar to the 2-year-old races, and there is always a nugget of talent buried here. If you spot them and chase them early, you will feel superior later.
A few years ago, for example, Kotei, Frogtei, Shimobori Myojo, Mayurika, and Runny Nose appeared at the same time, which is now at the premier level.
It is interesting to follow your favorite comedians while they are young, as you can see here.
Currently, Kabeposter and Heights Tomonokai are in the semi-finals of M-1. Kabeposter has been winning many prizes in the Kansai region.
Personally, Double Higashi, Husuya, and Sanyuma are the comedians to watch. These are likely to carry the next generation of the comedy world on their shoulders, so I would like to keep an eye on them.
Introduction to the form of the live performance!
Various live performances are held almost year-round at Mangeki, but it is important to know the form of these performances so that you can smoothly enter the performance you are looking for.
For those of you who are new to Mangueki, we hope you will find this section useful.
Initially, I recommend "extreme live "on weekends!
Popular "Pole Members "+ 90-minute story live "Pole Live "featuring true hits from Yoshimoto comedians from all over Japan will be held every weekend and on holidays.
This is a very good value for beginners as you can see more than a dozen pairs of real stories by popular comedians. It is a basic yose format that anyone can laugh at, and is the main content of Mangeki.
On weekdays, "Sho Live "is held daily at 5:00 p.m., and there is very good seating available here.
Up-and-coming comedians hone their skills at live events where students and others gather.
After that time, deep comedy-colored live performances will be held, such as live performances organized by each comedian, planned live performances, and solo live performances.
This is also popular because you can see the faces of the comedians, which you cannot see in simple stories such as "O-Kiri," "Corner," and "Group Contest," etc.
Please make your choice of live concert based on what kind of comedy you want to enjoy and what kind of comedian you want to see.
Outstanding facilities used for the M-1 Grand Prix qualifying rounds!
The popularity of comedy is also affected by the quality and characteristics of the theater. For example, there are theaters in the east of Japan where comedians say that their laughter is absorbed by the walls and the tone of the laughter is reduced.
In this respect, Mangeki is well equipped with Japan's top-class facilities.
It can be said to be a permanent hut that is a comedian first and worthy of representing the Osaka of comedy.
Easy to see, easy to laugh, and capacious!
The Mangueki currently has 305 seats. Originally, standing room seating was available, but sales have recently been suspended due to the Corona disaster.
As for the seating configuration, the viewpoints are arranged from the front to the rear, making it easier for people in the back to see and enjoy the show.
The power of the front row is especially extraordinary, and you will have a wonderful time with the comedian of your dreams right under your nose.
The ceiling is high and the style is such that laughter reverberates through the room. The whole room enjoys a sense of solidarity and togetherness, as if it were laughing as a whole.
There is also a smaller block of four seats at each end, where you can sit with a sense of space.
It is not possible to select a seat of your choice and sit in it, but it is possible to check it against a number or other information.
Information on how to apply for tickets!
Finally, we would like to show you how to apply for tickets. By referring here, even first-time visitors can visit Mangueki and actually experience the fun and attractions that we have introduced here.
Popular performances should be drawn a month in advance.
Mangeki tickets are generally available for purchase by lottery starting a month in advance. You can apply for tickets by becoming a member of Yoshimoto's special website called "FANY Tickets ".
It is not possible for a show to sell out at this lottery stage unless it is a very special performance. In particular, it is a solo live performance by a very popular duo, a guest appearance at a Yose, or a legendary event that is very rare.
If you are a light tourist "wanting to visit Mangueki for a bit ", you can secure tickets as you get closer if not too close.
Especially "Sho Live "is rarely sold out. As for the weekend "and ", there are sometimes guest appearances by Wagyu, Mimirizu, Shimobori Myojo, Kamaitachi, and others, but tickets are sold out early in those cases.
However, this one will most likely have same-day tickets available, and that information will be posted on Mangeki's official Twitter feed in the morning.
If you keep an eye on it, you may have a chance to get into a popular performance you were about to give up, so don't give up.
