Kia ora!

It’s been a while to update my website, but hope everything is well with you all 😊

I have been performing mainly for educational institutions for the last few months, but 2 public performances are coming up very soon!

One will be at UPSTAIRS of my favourite bookstore, Time Out (432 Mt Eden Road), and the other will be on Whānau Day 2024 at the prestigious Māori theatre, Te Pou (2 Mt Lebanon lane, Henderson)!

* To clarify the notice on Whānau Day 2024, ‘Rakugo’ is the right spelling of my art, and my real name ‘Hiroshi’, instead of my stage name Kanariya Eishi, is shown (which is actually seen as a no-no in the rakugo world), but I’m still super grateful!

Please do RSVP via contact page or one of my SNS if you are coming to the Time Out performance. RSVP not required for Whānau Day.

I normally pick which stories to perform while I’m on stage, but I have realised it’d be more audience friendly if I let them know before the performance, so here’s my plan:

Time Out (Sat 24 August)

Story 1: The Zoo (動物園) Story 2: Licking a Kettle (やかんなめ)

Te Pou (Sat 7 September)

Story 1: Jugemu (寿限無) Story 2: The Zoo (動物園)

Hope to see you there! Don’t forget to RSVP if you are coming to Time Out!
