On the final weekend of January, Japanese comedy duo SiVouPlait will be performing their full-length sketch show 'Strolling With Escargots' at Theatre Fonte, close to Shonandai in the suburbs of Tokyo and Yokohama.
Dressed all in white, Nozomi Horie and Takeshi Shibasaki perform charming and inventive sketches, incorporating mime, music and audience interaction, and there's no language barrier as they're almost all without dialogue. They routinely appear at street performance festivals around the world, and are favourites at the annual Daidogei Street Performance World Cup in Shizuoka.
There will be four shows over the weekend: at 7:00pm on Friday 27th January; 2:00pm and 5:00pm on Saturday 28th; and at 2:00pm on Sunday 29th. Tickets cost ¥2000 each, with discounts for students and members of the theatre.

I came to Japan from Manchester, England in 2003, and have travelled a lot since then, around Japan and in Asia. When I'm not working, I write satire and perform stand-up comedy in and around Tokyo. Check YouTube for a taste.
