    Atsuko Okatsuka Adds Dates to Her Big Bowl Tour Due to Popular Demand

    The show goes on — and on — for acclaimed comedian, actor and writer Atsuko Okatsuka.

    Due to ticket demand in the wake of her Hulu special, Atsuko Okatsuka: Father, the Taiwanese-Japanese laugh master with the distinctive bowl haircut has added shows to her Big Bowl Tour in New York, San Francisco, Boston and Seattle this fall — cities, with the exception of New York, where she has already booked multiple dates that have sold out or where ticket inventory is low.

    Father debuted as part of Hulu’s monthly Hularious stand-up comedy series in June and continues to be available on the Disney-owned streaming service. The special explores, in part, the themes of family and relationships, which, for Okatsuka, were hardly typical.

    Born in Taiwan and raised in Japan, her parents divorced when she was young and her mother developed schizophrenia. Custody of Atsuko was awarded to her father in the divorce, but while still a child, her grandmother brought her to the United States to be with her mother. In her first comedy special, Intruder, which aired on HBO in 2022, Okatsuka talked about her mother’s schizophrenia, her relationship with her grandmother and meeting her husband, whose mother also suffers from the condition.

    Okatsuka is also the inventor of the viral #DropChallenge, a squat bop performed to Beyoncé’s “Partition.” Other celebrities who took the challenge included former first lady Michelle Obama, the cast of Hamilton, Lizzo, Mike Birbiglia and Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers.

    Below are the added dates. More information about the Big Bowl tour can be found on her website.

    • Sept. 26: The Masonic, San Francisco
    • Sept. 28: Newmark Theater, Portland, Ore.
    • Oct. 19: Beacon Theatre, New York
    • Nov. 9: Meridian Hall, Toronto, Ontario
