Job Kita Kitahachi Theater
The Job Kita Kitahachi Theater is a historic venue in Osaka, Japan, originally established in the early 20th century. It is dedicated to preserving and performing the traditional Japanese comedic art of manzai, a two-person stand-up comedy style. The theater is named in honor of the legendary comedy duo, Entatsu (Jobu) and Achako (Kitahachi), who were pioneers of the genre.
