Manzai (漫才) is a traditional kind of Japanese comedy.[1] Manzai is a special kind of stand-up comedy.[2] It is both dialogue and performance.
A comedy team brings together a straight man (tsukkomi) who feeds punchlines to a funny man (boke).[3] A pair of comedians with a special back-and-forth style is called kakeai manzai.[2]
History
The history of manzai began in the Nara period.[4]
In the Edo period, the traditional dialogue was performed on stage.[1]
In modern times, manzai performances are televised in Japan.[1]
New Year's tradition
In Japan's past, traditional manzai performers would go from house to house in the New Year's season. They would sing songs[5] and perform good-luck dances in return for a small amount of rice or money.[6]
