About this listen
Rakugo is the Japanese art of comic storytelling with stories that have been passed down from Master to Apprentice. This art form has 800 current masters, but what makes Katsura Sunshine special, at the time of this 2020 interview, is his standing as the only non-Japanese master. In this excerpt, the Canadian traditional Japanese Rakugo comic storyteller, theatre producer, and television personality who has performed Rakugo on Broadway and in London's West End, shares why Rakugo works with universal audiences, the fastest Rakogo story you’ll ever hear, reveals why he always gets compared to Vaudeville performers, and how a complicated set of rules keep the art form both easy to understand for the audience - and funny.
