After a long summer off, we at Stand Up Tokyo are chilled, tanned (well, more like burnt) and ready to bring more headlining international comics to the people of Tokyo.As well as our hilarious local shows, where we usually host travelling comics from all over the world who are passing through Japan, we also like to treat you by bringing proper comics over to deliver an hour of top quality English material, which is a chance you don't often get here in Tokyo.In October we host American TV star and world-class stand-up TOM RHODES. We really are so lucky to have this veteran grace our stage; he's performed with the best and been at it for three decades. This will be an unmissable night, our first American headliner since Steve Hofstetter back in February. This event will take place at Good Heavens British Bar in Shimokitazawa, but due to a tight schedule Tom will be joining us on a THURSDAY rather than for our usual Wednesday show.  Tom Rhodes is a world traveling comedian who is now celebrating his 30th year as a stand up comedian.  The New York Times  describes him as “A mostly natural intellect with a knack for reporting the harsh realities of life with a dark and absurdly optimistic cynicism.”   An adventurer forging his own path, Rhodes has built a career that not only includes stand-up specials,  a sitcom,  a travel show,  a late night talk show,  numerous live CD’s & DVD’s,  his critically acclaimed podcast Tom Rhodes Radio,  as well as being a travel writer for the Huffington Post.
