Anthony Jeselnik, a comedian known for his dark and dry style of stand-up, will play his first show in Japan on Aug. 5 at Yamano Hall in Tokyo.
Jeselnik is being brought to Japan by Tokyo-based events company Eggworm as part of the Asia stretch of his worldwide ¡°Bones and All¡± tour, which recently wrapped up more than 100 sold-out shows across North America and Europe.
The 45-year-old cut his teeth on the late night circuit writing for the first season of ¡°Late Night with Jimmy Fallon¡± in 2009 while also performing at such storied clubs as the Comedy Cellar in New York. Early in his career, Jeselnik found himself writing and performing for the ¡°Comedy Central Roast¡± series, taking the torch to then reality TV star and future president Donald Trump in 2011. Jeselnik has also appeared on popular shows such as ¡°The Tonight Show hosted by Conan O'Brien,¡± and ¡°Jimmy Kimmel Live.¡± In 2013, he hosted ¡°The Jeselnik Offensive,¡± a late-night inspired program that ran for two seasons on Comedy Central.
