Didnt think much of it from the posters but it was surprisingly entertaining and funny... The stage just consists of a flat pillow and a microphone, and each entertainer seated on the pillow to tell the funny stories. I reccommend ppl go see it the next time it's here... as the only other place one will be able to watch Rakugo's would be in Japan.Rakugo defined.....
Rakugo (落語 literally "fallen words") is a Japanese verbal entertainment. The lone storyteller (Rakugoka) sits on the stage, called the Kōza(高座), and using only a paper fan as a prop, and without standing up from his seat, depicts a long and complicated comical story. The story always involves the dialogue of two or more characters, the difference between the characters depicted only through change in pitch, tone, and a slight turn of the head.
