How intellectual!!/Ikeda Yosuke

Ikeda Yosuke,a Japnese pantomimist creates the very unique show!It's really entertaining!
Using humorous music, he encourages the whole audience to clap their hands according to his cues and invites to us to join his magical show.

He is also a math teacher so that his show is all well planed.
You will be really amazed at the ending.

I am sure he will be the most famous exponent of the art of the mime in the world anytime soon!!

Thrilling Roller Roller/Paolo Kaiser

A well-built and handsome guy, Paolo Kaiser and a sexy and beautiful woman, Katerina create a really exciting show!!

They call their act "Roller Roller" and have been doing it for 8years.
Paolo's father started rolla bolla and he passed it on to Paolo.

Paolo Kaiser puts a small tube on a cirqular stage and then places a board on top of it.
Of course, it's unsteady, so it makes us so nervous. He admits he feels scared too.
But he bravely stands on the board and shows us a lot of breathtaking tricks!
Katerina assists him in throwing boards (a heavy one weighs 7kilos!) to him during the show.
He jumps from one board to another board placed at a different level of the stage.
The backflip on the shaky board makes us feel soooo uneasy but is sooooo cool!

You should definitely come and see their show !!!

Welcome Trouble!

They come out with black frame glasses to funky music. They finally made it to the ON division of the Daidogei World Cup at Shizuoka after two years in the OFF division.

Their show is mixture of balloons, juggling, acrobatics, balance and whips, the show moving at a fast tempo from one skill to the next. But even more impressive is how they use each of these in a hilarious black comedy. They expertly bring the dark side of the clown world into their performance, sparring beautifully with the audience.



Their favorite part about Shizuoka? Of course it is the audience! Only in Shizuoka is it possible to get such a good rise out of the audience. This year they prepared a number of gags especially for the Shizuoka audience. What were they? You have to come and see for yourself.

Grace and power

Andrzej & Tomek


Andrzej and Tomek are two strong and macho Polish guys who fascinate us with only their trained bodies.

They started their careers more than 20 years ago when they met at an acrobatic sports club. After that, they have been performing in theaters or circuses.

Andrzej lifts up his partner on his hand or leg, shoulders and they balance on each other. Even though Tomek weighs 65 kilograms, Andrzej holds up Tomek with no trouble at all.
Their performance is perfect! It is done so smoothly and gracefully to quiet music.


They focus on every act because it needs a great amount of concentration. Both of them respect each other a lot mentally and physically. Otherwise they could not pull off their act with safety.
Over the last 20 years, their peformance has been continually evolving as they improve their act and I am absolutely sure it will continue to do so.

Perfect Timing - Team Funniest

Team Funniest are young. They are deceivingly young. At first sight it is hard to imagine what kind of performance they could offer, but it turns out that Team Funniest have been performing for over 11 years together, and they offer one of the most polished and entertaining performances that the World Cup has seen.

Their show includes a combination of juggling, physical humor, and mime, but perhaps their greatest talent is in their perfect timing and wonderful crowd interaction. Using only facial expressions and physical gestures to communicate with the audience, they brought members of the audience into their act and made them heroes and heroines with smiles all round.




Indeed they are the funniest, and an obvious favorite with the kids, who they had laughing almost the entirety of the show, but their fan base was from all age groups.

This is their second time at the World Cup, and they are currently learning Japanese so it would be great to see them performing as regulars in Japan. Their show is highly recommeded, make sure you get time to catch it.
