the Grand Prix of "Manzai"

"Manzai" or comic dialogue


Hello. It's cold but nice today😊

Tonight, one of the features of the year-end is broadcast; it's "M-1 Grand Prix," which decides the No. 1 "manzai" comedians. It is also known as the gateway to promised future, especially for young comedy duo. They are chosen simply for the quality of their "manzai" by the judges who are big names in Japanese comedy field.

"Manzai" is a kind of talk comedy performed mostly by a duo: “boke” (funny man) and “tsukkomi” (straight man). Now, many popular "manzai" comedians are very active on TV programs.

The result of the competition becomes a popular topic of conversation this time of year. I always look forward to the program. But I can't watch it live due to online meeting😣 It can't be helped. I'll enjoy the recorded😉

    I was very shocked because I hoped "Oswald" won. But "Nishikigoi" was also funny, so I'm convinced.

      Thanks for the comment, Momoha. Did you watch it live? The moment the winner is decided is always thrilling, isn't it?
