Our final night in Japan and a great way to end our holiday. Special mention compere Rodney Smith and USA transplant Dan Dorman - had our whole family laughing all night - who would have thought such a great show in Japan, of all places.

Open mic night was amazing, the guys' acts were hilarious despite this night being somewhat of a testing ground for new jokes. At ¥500 a head this is more than worth it. Highly highly recommend for English speakers looking for an hour and a bit of great laughs in a wonderful environment.

We had a fantastic time here. We went to one of the Open Mic nights which was a steal at only ¥500 a head and didn't stop laughing for the entire show. If you're in Osaka and you speak English, you have to experience this!

Osaka is famous for comedy in Japan but it's tough to find a venue for English-speaker, so I very much appreciate ROR for providing that option. The open mic nights are a fun way to sample local talent, even though the expat comics tend to outnumber the Japanese ones. Still, as a venue for English-language comedy it did enable me to see an actual professional stand-up comic who was visiting from the UK so that was terrific.
The biggest problem with ROR is the space itself: very cramped. It's a basement. There are no tables or even proper chairs: I was sitting on a tiny stool among a crowd of other stools. This limits you to one drink at a time and it's difficult to get another when you're packed in as an audience. Still, with no alternatives, I'll be back someday.

My husband and I came to see this show and absolutely enjoyed it! We got there a bit early and popped into the little hooka bar/restaurant that is above the "club". Once they were ready to open the doors we popped down some stairs and were in a small room. This is where the show is. It can be quite cozy in there, but you quickly forget as the comedians get you laughing. We loved the audience interaction and the stories. Definitely recommend this as for any English speaker!

ROR was amazing. We had SUCH a fun little evening and it all started there. The 4 acts we saw there were all brilliant. Very smart and observational comedy. The host is also amazing. Can’t recommend it enough. Drinks and food was also brilliant and very reasonably priced. Finally got some decent vegetarian food which was a massive bonus.

Visited ROR on a Saturday night. Caught a show with 3 comedians and the presenter Ed. All had me in stitches and I'm one of those miserable gits who doesn't often laugh audibly, so hats of to them.
Admission was only 1000 yen per head so well worth it. Drinks were all reasonably priced too. I'll return the next time I'm in town.
Thanks for the hilarious night, gents.

I went to get a little refresher and humor after staying in Japan for a while. This atmosphere was chill and the stand-ups were very funny. Even if you don't go to the comedy show, you should check out the bar which I've noticed is very popular and filled with interesting individuals. The employees are super nice as well!

If you are busy travelling day and night, this place is worth taking the time out to kick your feet up, grab a beer, and have a laugh. The crew are very welcoming and the gig was hilarious. Had both my partner and I in stitches. They interacted with the crowd and had many relatable jokes to both world and Japan holiday experiences. Definitely add this to your itinerary!

This was my first time at a comedy show and my first night in Osaka, and I must say it was pretty memorable. The MC was hilarious and he set a nice tone for the rest of the show. The space is quite small and intimate, so maybe not the best if you’re claustrophobic. However, I would recommend you to check it out if you’re in the area and need a laugh, or at least want a respite from listening to Japanese.

The shows are on every Friday and starting soon, Saturdays as well. Unfortunately it looks like the 15th is a Monday, so there is no show that night, but the bar/restaurant upstairs will be open, and the food and drink there are quite good!

For info on regular perf, guest perf, venues etc you need to follow ROR Comedy web page or their Facebook page.
They have regular performances on Friday nights in Osaka (think its 9 pm at Namba). Prices vary, think its 1000 yen for regular nights, about 2000 yen when they have guest performers (but in this second case you can get a discount for advance purchase)
