Namba Grand Kagetsu, Comedy theater in Namba-Sennichimae, Japan.
Namba Grand Kagetsu is a comedy theater in Namba-Sennichimae, Japan, with 858 seats spread over two floors. The rows are arranged so that all visitors can see the stage without any obstructed views.
The building opened in November 1987 and is managed by Yoshimoto Kogyo, a company that has shaped the city's comedy scene for decades. The location quickly became an important venue for rising comedians from across the region.
The stage showcases the rapid exchanges and rhythmic wordplay of manzai comedy, where two performers follow a fixed pattern of straight man and funny man. This form of entertainment has deep roots in the Kansai region and shapes local humor to this day.
Performances take place on weekdays at 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., with additional shows on weekends. Tickets can be purchased at the ground floor box office or online.
The foyer contains a boutique selling items available only here and connected to specific comedians of the house. The restaurant in the building offers regional dishes such as nikusui, a typical meat soup from Osaka.
