Shota Saimu performs Opener at Sogetsu Hall in Tokyo on 3 December 2026, with starts at 17:00 and 19:30. Ticket Pia lists doors at 16:30 and 19:00 respectively, numbered seats at ¥5,500 including tax, and an 18+ admission rule. The earlier performance appears in the current booking even though the launch announcement highlighted only the evening session.
A Japanese-language solo stand-up programme
In the announcement, the performer explains that this theatre show develops an approach shaped by comedy-club experience in Toronto and touring in the United States, recreated in Japanese. That establishes the performance language without assuming translation assistance. Opener is presented as a solo stand-up special, not a mixed bill or an English-language showcase. The checked current seller listing names only the headliner. An exact running time was not independently confirmed, so do not derive a finish from promotional descriptions or from the interval between the two sessions.
Numbered seats, identification and ticket issuing
Ticket Pia publishes all-reserved seating at ¥5,500 including tax, with additional payment or issuing charges to be checked during booking. People under 18 cannot purchase or enter, and identification may be requested on the day. The seller specifies online sales, a four-ticket limit and ticket issuing from 26 November at 10:00. Follow the official primary-sale booking rather than the resale links also present on the platform. Match the selected start time to the intended session, since an announcement or an older poster may show only 19:30.
Sogetsu Kaikan, basement level one
The hall is in Sogetsu Kaikan at 7-2-21 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo, on basement level one. Use that full destination when planning arrival rather than relying on the English show title alone. The confirmed doors times leave 30 minutes before each performance, so allow additional travel margin before reaching the building. Ask the organiser about accessibility arrangements before buying if step-free access or a particular seat is needed. The booking identifies Chubby as the event contact; no unverified entrance route or journey duration is assumed here.
