Background

Tokyo 03 formed in 2003 and has since become one of the most respected “Conte” (sketch comedy) groups in Japan. Their significance lies in their ability to maintain a pure focus on theater-based comedy, often avoiding the usual variety show tropes in favor of long-form, character-driven scripts. Their 2009 victory at “King of Conte” solidified their status as titans of the genre.

The “It’s Not Too Bad” solo tour is part of their tradition of holding large-scale annual tours that sell out almost instantly. Their collaboration with the writer Okura is pivotal, as he brings a cinematic and deeply layered structure to their live shows, often featuring musical interludes and high-end lighting design that blurs the line between a comedy gig and a premium theatrical play.
