Joshiraku

じょしらく

Five young women work as rakugo storytellers at the same Tokyo theater, but the real comedy happens after they leave the stage. Backstage and out around the city, the hot-tempered crybaby Kukuru Anrakutei, the Edo-talking Marii Buratei, and their fellow performers riff on everything from petty daily annoyances to politics and the manga industry. There is no overarching plot, just rapid-fire conversational gags built on the clashing personalities of the troupe.
