Atsuko Okatsuka – FULL GROWN TOUR

Atsuko tackles making friends as an adult and the facade of marriage now that she's completely matured and needs no improvement.

Atsuko Okatsuka is a global standup comedian and actress whose highly anticipated second standup special will premiere in 2025 on Hulu and internationally on Disney+.

She also wrapped the upcoming feature studio comedy OUTCOME (Apple+) starring Jonah Hill and Keanu Reeves.

Atsuko’s infectious joy and viral shenanigans have helped to make her a global star. During a tour stop in the Philippines, she made local news with a viral video of her riding a Jeepney. No stranger to virality, Atsuko has created multiple trending videos including one of her presenting at The Unforgettable Gala which has more than 100MM views, a video where she helped a couple get back together at her San Francisco show, to her starting the #DropChallenge, which brought Beyonce's song "Partition" back onto the charts. Atsuko makes an indelible impression everywhere she goes, with fans sometimes showing up to her shows wearing wigs of her bowl cut.
