Gather, Drink, and Laugh - A Comedy Special in Shibuya

A special event is brewing in Shibuya on October 13, featuring a night of comedy and craft beer, thanks to the collaboration between Nara Brewing and Pony Canyon. This is the second round of a unique project titled 'Gather, Drink, Laugh,' which aims to merge craft beer with various cultural experiences. The stage at LOFT9 Shibuya will come alive with hilarious performances from an eclectic lineup of comedians, many of whom hail from Nara, promising a night that blends local charm with top-notch entertainment.

About Nara Brewing

Founded in 2018, Nara Brewing has made its mark in the craft beer scene of Japan, producing over 150 different types of beer since its inception. Known for their distinctive flavors and collaborations, Nara Brewing works alongside other breweries, sake makers, musicians, and even artists, aiming to present a diverse range of beers that can be enjoyed by both aficionados and casual drinkers alike. Their philosophy revolves around making beer an enjoyable and rich experience, with meticulous attention given to label design and naming.

In recent years, Nara Brewing has been acknowledged for its innovative collaborations, such as the ‘NEVERLAND’ beer created with the local rock band Lostage and Craftrock Brewing in Tokyo. They also look forward to releasing ‘ARRIVAL,’ a collaborative beer with renowned designer Syd Mead in 2024, and ‘ECHOES’ in partnership with the EATBEAT! area of ‘Forest, Road, Market’ in 2025. Each product emphasizes the brewery’s commitment to creativity and quality, ensuring that every sip resonates with the spirit of collaboration.

The Event Concept: 'Gather, Drink, Laugh'

'Gather, Drink, Laugh' was conceived as a project where Nara Brewing collaborates with Pony Canyon to explore and celebrate the intersection of craft beer with various cultural domains. The first installment, held in July, featured a live music event showcasing independent artists that highlighted the synergy between beer and artistic expression.

For the upcoming second edition, the focus turns to comedy. The event promises an exciting lineup including comedians such as GakuZuke, ZigZagGigi, Jeronimo Suzuki, Hiro Okumura, and Shohta Minami. This blend of talents is expected to create a unique entertainment experience not often seen in typical comedy lineups.

The evening is structured in two parts. The first segment will showcase stand-up performances, while the second part includes a talk segment called 'Nara Prefectural Drinking Party,' hosted by Ikeda from ZigZagGigi, featuring GakuZuke, Hiro Okumura, and Shohta Minami—all Nara natives. This engaging format aims to celebrate the local community and the joy of sharing laughs over beers.

Tickets for both in-person and live-streamed versions of the event are now available. Those attending in person can enjoy a selection of Nara Brewing’s craft beers, while online ticket holders will receive a 10% discount coupon for Nara Brewing's online store, making it a fantastic opportunity for beer lovers and comedy fans alike.
