SUMMARY:CLIC networking event: Tokyo Comedy Bar
DESCRIPTION:Join us on June 26th for another special CLIC series event and hear from Fergal Daly\, co-founder of Tokyo Comedy Bar\, Japan’s first dedicated English-language comedy venue. \nStand-up comedy — where one person stands alone with a mic and speaks directly to the audience — has become a global phenomenon. But in Japan\, comedy has traditionally been more absurd\, physical\, and broad in appeal. \nSince around 2015\, Fergal and his team have been building Tokyo’s stand-up scene show by show. In 2021\, they took a major step: signing a lease in Shibuya and launching Tokyo Comedy Bar\, right in the middle of a pandemic. \nIn this talk\, Fergal will share the story of starting an English-speaking comedy club in a city where English isn’t widely spoken — and doing it during a time when live events were nearly impossible. He’ll discuss the cultural challenges\, business risks\, and unexpected opportunities of blending global comedy with local culture. \nAnd yes\, expect a few laughs along the way. \nSpecial thanks to MIDORI.so for venue support. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS \nDate: Thursday\, June 26th\, 2025 \nTime: 19:00 – 21:00 (doors open at 18:30) \nVenue: MIDORI.so Nagatacho (2F Engagement Space)\n2-5-3 Hirakawachō\, Chiyoda-ku\, Tokyo 102-0093 \nFee: JPY 5\,000 members / JPY 7\,000 non-members \nLanguage: English \n  \nTo register\, please send your full name\, company name and position to info@blccj.or.jp. We will send a confirmation email. \nYou will need to arrange payment in advance by bank transfer (no cash payments). We will send the bank details in the confirmation email. \nDeadline for registration is Thursday 19 June 17:00\, or when seats are full.\nAny cancellations after 19 June or no-shows will be charged in full. \n  \nWe look forward to welcoming many of you for a FUN evening! \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nFergal Daly is an Irish software engineer who has lived in Tokyo since 2011. In 2018\, he reconnected with a long-lost dream: performing stand-up comedy. What began as a hobby soon became a mission to build Tokyo’s English-language comedy scene. In 2022\, he co-founded Tokyo Comedy Bar\, Japan’s only full-time venue dedicated to English stand-up comedy. \n  \nAbout CLIC \nCLIC is a loose organization of 12 smaller European Chambers of Commerce in Japan created to organize innovative networking events that promote the exchange of ideas between members. CLIC includes the Austrian Business Council and the Belgian-Luxembourg\, Danish\, Dutch\, Finnish\, Greek\, Icelandic\, Irish\, Norwegian\, Spanish\, Swedish\, and Swiss Chambers of Commerce.
