Katsura Sunshine's Rakugo

Katsura Sunshine brings his Rakugo performance to Portland. This show features a unique blend of traditional Japanese storytelling and modern comedic sensibilities. Sunshine, a Canadian-born rakugo master, delivers these solo narratives with wit and charm, often incorporating English for broader accessibility while maintaining the art form's classic structure. This evening at the Alberta Rose Theatre is a chance to see a distinctive cultural performance. Rakugo is best appreciated in an intimate setting, allowing the audience to engage with the storyteller directly. It's a good fit for those interested in international theater, stand-up comedy with a twist, or simply an engaging night out on Monday, October 26, 2026.
