At a Glance
Namba Grand Kagetsu, known as NGK, is a comedy theater in Chūō Ward, Osaka, run by the entertainment company Yoshimoto Kogyo. It opened on November 1, 1987, replacing the aging Namba Kagetsu theater, and its catchphrase is the palace of laughter. With about 900 reserved seats, it is among the largest comedy theaters in Japan.
The program centers on comedy and comic theater, and the Yoshimoto Shinkigeki troupe has performed there since 1990. Young comedians warm up the audience before each show, and guest performers from abroad or Edo-style storytellers appear from time to time. The theater was renovated in 2012 and again in 2017, and comedians often describe its audience as a demanding test.
