What do you mean by sticking out your tongue?

Tongue dropping is one of the traditional forms of Japanese Quyi.

Tongue dropping is one of the traditional forms of Japanese Quyi. Both the form and content of the performance are similar to the traditional stand-up crosstalk in China. It is said that many jokes with missing characters have deep roots with China, and some of them are directly taken from "Hide the Knife in the Laughter" edited by Feng Menglong, a writer in China in the late Ming Dynasty. Losing one's tongue is an affirmation of people's good and evil behavior, and the protagonists in it are mostly people in a weak position, exposing the shortcomings of human nature.

A small theater that mainly performs words is called "sending seats". Generally speaking, the performance venue is not large. On the small stage in front of the theater, there is a small cushion on which the Chinese teacher kneels to perform. Although the language teacher always wears a very formal kimono when performing, she speaks authentic folk vernacular.

If it is different from China's stand-up comedy, it may be more like a one-man show or a one-man show, because besides lip service, it pays more attention to expressing life with funny expressions and exaggerated actions. In order to make the performance more brilliant, many artists will take out folding fans and handkerchiefs as props.
