Description

Growing up with a mother with schizophrenia and a grandmother who stole from buffets and fed her false realities, Atsuko is now stunted as an adult. But when confronted with a home intruder, she realises that her unconventional upbringing may have actually prepared her for just this moment. Atsuko made her late-night stand-up debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2021. She was named a Comic to Watch by Vulture ('one of the best in the biz') and TimeOut LA ('Refreshing, artistic, and boundlessly confident').

Great stand-up - hilarious and under-stated, gently draws you into the story and keeps you laughing throughout. A real highlight, definitely worth seeing.

I came in a bit late and missed a bit of the beginning (double check early where Bunker at Pleasance is for fellow newbies!) But I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt in good hands with Atsuko's storytelling. Totally related as well to my own parents and it was so funny. Highly recommend!

The Comic's Comic (4/5 stars) 33 days ago

She’s already sold this hour to HBO, which she’ll film at a later date after the Fringe. So you might want to catch her now so you can say you saw her when. When meaning now.

The Skinny (3/5 stars) 39 days ago

The Intruder is a strong Edinburgh Fringe debut filled with meaning and fun, and Okatsuka’s a character you’re unlikely to forget
