SUMMARY:GLOBAL CULTURES: MANZAI LECTURE AND WORKSHOP 1 NOV 2026
LOCATION:Cambridge University: West Court Jesus College
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to invite you to a one-off manzai lecture an
 d workshop at Jesus College with Manu Shimaoka\, Shira-chan\, and Yumi Fuj
 ita (Team Franpone)\, visiting from Japan. Tickets are available below. Ma
 nzai is a traditional Japanese comedy style with two performers: the “BO
 KE” (funny one) and the “TUKKOMI” (traditional man). The BOKE amuses
  the audience with silly remarks\, unexpected actions\, or surprising stat
 ements. In contrast\, the TSUKKOMI acts as the logical counterpart\, corre
 cting the BOKE?s antics and steering the conversation. Their dynamic inter
 action and playful exchanges create the humour that defines MANZAI. The ev
 ent will introduce manzai and its various forms. While the talk will be in
  English\, some Japanese words will also be introduced to help learn some 
 Japanese vocab\, as you create your own manzai comedy skits. Running order
 : 1. Introduction & Explanation of Manzai (15 minutes): Participants learn
  about the performers and the basics of manzai\, a traditional Japanese co
 medy style. 2. Forming Duos & Choosing Team Names (15 minutes): Participan
 ts pair up and decide on creative team names. 3. Creating a 3-Line Skit (1
 5 minutes): Each duo writes a short manzai routine\, focusing on humorous 
 exchanges between the “boke” and “tsukkomi” roles. 4. Performing S
 kits (15 minutes): Participants present their skits to the group\, showcas
 ing their comedic creativity. 5. Q&A (30 mins)
