About the Event
Ijams is proud to welcome Katsura Sunshine's Rakugo for a night of laughter and stories on Sept. 16!
A show of hilarity and culture in equal doses! Katsura Sunshine completed a grueling traditional apprenticeship in Rakugo comic storytelling under the great Rakugo master, Katsura Bunshi VI, in 2011.
Since then, his performances have delighted audiences around the world. Sunshine has graced the famous New World Stages on Broadway with a different delightful Japanese story each month since 2019. Join us for his Knoxville stop Sept. 16 at 7:30 pm! Tickets are $35 per person.
Come for an hour of laughter and leave with a piece of Japan in your heart! This performance is part of the Ijams Sunset Socials Series sponsored by Boston Beers Co.: Angry Orchard Hard Cider, Dogfish Head, Samuel Adams, Truly Hard Seltzer, and Twisted Tea Hard Iced Tea.
