Britain's What's On Event Guide
Atsuko Okatsuka The ‘Full Grown’ tour
Asian American comedian Atsuko Okatsuka has announced the UK leg of her global comedy tour with three dates this February at the O2 Academy Glasgow on 20th, the Manchester Academy on 21st and London’s Eventim Apollo on 22nd. This follows the huge success of her HBO special ‘The Intruder’, directed by Tig Notaro, which will be available to watch on Sky UK starting in December. ‘The Full Grown’ is her first comedy tour and has already performed to sold out theatres in 56 cities in 12 countries so far.
The ‘Full Grown’ tour is a graduation from her last standup special and tour, The Intruder where people met her unique, bright, brand of comedy with the story of how her and her husband fought an intruder that kept coming to their house in one day. This new show takes a look at why Atsuko's the way she is, the new discoveries that one may still find at later stages in their life, the desire and need for family and sense of community, and to ultimately, not take life so seriously. Atsuko tackles making friends as an adult, the facade of marriage including Gender Role reversals, reconnecting family and embracing Dad Jokes.
“I’m so excited to be back in the UK! Last time, you all packed out my two sold-out Hackney Empire shows, and I’ve been eager to come back ever since. It’s always so cool to travel and see how my comedy connects with fans all over the world. This time, I’m not just sticking to London—I’m bringing my ‘Full Grown Tour’ to Glasgow and Manchester too, for my Scottish and Northern English babes! And of course, I’ll be back in London, but this time at the even bigger and iconic Eventim Apollo. See you all so soon!” ATSUKO OCTOBER 2024
