Farm Backpacker (Subclass 417): Takashi Wakasugi (JPN)
Japan's quickest comedy export, Takashi Wakasugi returns to Perth with his
brand new show after a sold out season at FRINGE WORLD 2020.
A typical Japanese boy, Takashi came to Australia on a working holiday visa and had a wonderful time. Did you know, if you are on that visa and spend three months doing farm work, you can get a one year extension on your visa? Takashi did that.
For three months, Takashi worked on a countryside farm with a (not) racist farmer and stayed at a (very) dirty backpacker hostel with crazy backpackers. Takashi had a great time and the worst time there. He will talk about that. And he just wants to say Thank You (F*%k You) Australia!
"Hilarious....a genuinely charming performer... His show will be a treat to all who come to see it" ★★★★ Everything Adelaide 2020
