My partner and I were at the show last night and loved every second! This was especially impressive as we’d had a stressful journey trying to find the venue, through an oversight of our own. We had used the company’s head office as our location to find, rather than the ROR comedy club in Namba where the show is held. The guys were really helpful when we messaged and clarified the location for us, even sending us another message closer to the show time to check if we needed any further help. I really appreciated this and it highlighted what a class act these guys are. I won’t go into too much detail on the show, not wanting to spoil anything, but we were treated to brilliant coin and card magic right in front of us. Lots of interaction, jokes and you also get a drink token if you book in advance. If you love magic we would highly recommend, and if you don’t love magic you will after this show!

6. SAMURAI CAFE
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 30 reviews
It has no story. Now you can experience the entertainment you’ve never seen. “Samurai Cafe” brought excitement and big laughter to the audience. The sword fights come almost 10 cm from the seats in the theater and Japanese style dancing makes sexy feelings. You’ll never find how much fun Samurai Cafe is until experience it. Most of the industry officials and producers described it as “There’s no word to express it.” No one knows how it goes, even audience or performers. You are the creator!

This was so much fun. Everyone in our family got to go on stage and be apart of the performance. The show was hilarious and I haven't laughed this hard in a while. It's a must-see attraction and our 5-year-old loved it.
