SOLOCOM NYC’25: OGATA/BERMAN

“Stranger in a stangeland – an autobiographical comedy, living around the world” – ATSUSHI OGATA

Join us for a night of laughs with Atsushi Ogata’s semi-autobiographical stand-up comedy about growing up with wild imaginations and living around the world as a perpetual “stranger in strangeland.”

What happens if you’re born a “class clown” in Japan, grow up in the US and live around Europe as a low-budget, globetrotting filmmaker/actor/artist? At times, you become a Zelig-like “chameleon” character, morphing into a local; other times, you become an instant-celebrity for looking so “different”!? What’s the take-away? Come find out!

Why don’t people like me – REBECCA BERMAN
