Discover lightning-fast wordplay and share laughter that leaps over every language barrier.
Born in Edo-period vaudeville, Ohgiri challenges performers to twist language and imagination on the spot. The magic lies in lightning-quick puns, playful misdirection, and the collective gasp when everyone "gets it."
