Edd Daggers

When this man walks on stage, you can feel the voltage shift—he's got that rare mix of razor-sharp wit and playful chaos that only comes from years of surviving comedy clubs across three continents. Edd Daggers is the award-winning maverick who founded Osaka Comedy Club (originally ROR Comedy) back in 2011, single-handedly launching Japan's first proper stand-up scene and becoming a true pioneer of Asian comedy. With over 12 years of headlining everywhere from London Comedy Store to Sydney Comedy Store, he's perfected a killer blend of tightly-written zingers and spontaneous crowd work that keeps audiences on their toes. TimeOut Shanghai praised his "intelligent, witty and insightful" style, noting he "brings a real passion to the stage"—but honestly, you need to see it to believe it. This globe-trotting vegan firecracker divides his time between London and his adopted home of Osaka, and he's become a beloved regular on the Comedy Boat since 2024, bringing international flair and dangerously quick comebacks to our intimate venue. Whether he's riffing on cultural quirks or dissecting modern life, Edd delivers laughs that are smart, surprising, and utterly unforgettable.
