How To Be Japanese: Your Normal Is Not My Normal at Fanatic Salon Theater

Due to popular demand, Miyo Yamauchi's sold-out solo show "How To Be Japanese: Your Normal is Not My Normal" will return this spring.

How To Be Japanese is directed by LA storytelling luminary Jane Morris and will be performed at the Fanatic Salon at 3815 Sawtelle Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90066 on Saturday, March 4, 2023 at 8pm.

Yamauchi was born and raised in Japan, but now resides in Southern California where she is a mainstay audience favorite at popular storytelling venues like the Fanatic Salon Theater, Strong Words, Turbine Arts Collective, and the StoryMasters club.

"When you enter a new culture like I have, you're the outsider. And that provides an excellent vantage point to question the status quo," Yamauchi explains. "I want the audience to see their normal from a different perspective through my odd world. When we understand the differences, we begin to recognize the similarities. And maybe when the audience is laughing at me and my crazy adventures, they might realize they're also laughing at themselves a bit."
