Namba Grand Kagetsu

Namba Grand Kagetsu is Yoshimoto Kogyo's base for comedy culture. With 858 seats it is the largest comedy theatre in the country, and its retro interior is styled after old Japan, which has made it popular with audiences from Japan and abroad. Yoshimoto's comedians appear live, from the established names to young performers, and the centrepiece is Yoshimoto Shinkigeki, whose new play changes week by week. The building holds more than the theatre: Hana Noren Tully's Coffee, planned jointly by Yoshimoto Kogyo and Tully's Coffee, a takoyaki stand called Yoshitako run by Yoshimoto comedians, and the Yoshimoto Entame Shop with its official goods, along with other shops selling Osaka souvenirs and places to eat.
