About this episode

Embark on a delightful discourse with Miku from Miku Real Japanese, as we expand our horizons from the heartwarming humor of Osaka to the varying veins of comedy that run through different cultures around the globe. Raised in a city where humor is as common as courtesy, Miku navigates us through the comedic contrasts between the quirky quips of Japan, the cheeky chuckles of Spain, and the dark dryness of British humor. This episode, a jovial journey following our previous exploration of Kansai humor, invites you to chuckle along as we unveil the universal yet unique nature of what makes us laugh across continents!
