Anthony Jeselnik, a comedian known for his dark and dry style of stand-up comedy, will perform his first show in Japan on August 5 at Yamano Hall in Tokyo.
Jeselnik is being brought to Japan by Tokyo-based events company Eggworm as part of the Asian leg of his global “Bones and All” tour, which recently concluded over 100 sold-out shows across North America and Europe.
The 45-year-old cut his teeth on the late-night circuit by writing for the first season of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” in 2009, while also performing at legendary clubs like the Comedy Cellar in New York City. Early in his career, Jeselnik wrote and performed for the “Comedy Central Roast” series, taking over from then-reality TV star and future president Donald Trump in 2011. Jeselnik has also appeared on popular shows like “The Tonight Show Hosted by Conan O’Brien” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” In 2013, he hosted “The Jeselnik Offensive,” a late-night-inspired program that ran for two seasons on Comedy Central.
