Mark your calendars! The much-anticipated comedy event, 'every-1 Grand Prix 2026 Next Up! vol.2,' will take place on April 7, 2026, at Shinjuku Battios. Hosted by Everylive Inc., this event merges stand-up comedy with live streaming, creating a fresh and interactive experience for comedy fans.

What is the 'every-1 Grand Prix'?

Launched in 2025 by Everylive Inc. as a novel stand-up comedy competition, the 'every-1 Grand Prix' establishes a unique format by incorporating live streaming into traditional comedy events. Contestants compete in preliminary rounds held within the Everylive app, where fans vote to determine who advances to the finals. The competition features a distinct twist; there is a 'Vertical Comedy Grand Prix' that showcases performances tailored for vertical smartphone viewing. With winners determined through audience votes both in-person and online, this event promises an exhilarating experience.

In addition to the competition’s excitement, the event will feature collaboration with BS12 Twelve's show 'In Love with Hawaii!', which has been airing for 16 years. The spin-off 'everyfriends presents Hawaii Cafe!' will launch in May, offering special appearances to winners from the 'every-1 Grand Prix.'
