Atsuko Okatsuka is an award-winning comedian and actress making waves across the globe with her one-of-a-kind humour, boundless energy, and infectious charm.

Her highly anticipated second stand-up special, FATHER, recently premiered on Hulu and internationally on Disney+, landing on Hulu’s top 10 list. Following the success of FATHER, she recently announced The Big Bowl Tour.

Her previous special THE INTRUDER (HBO), won a Gracie Award for “Best Comedy Special”, The New York Times called the “Best Debut Special of 2022” and Vulture and Variety named one of the “Best Specials of 2022”.

Her 2024-2025 FULL GROWN tour was a massive success, selling out over 200 shows in more than 100 cities across 20+ countries. Atsuko’s comedic antics continue to go viral, and clips from THE INTRUDER have racked up over 100 million views. Her energy and humour earned her a spot on The Live List 2023 (in partnership with Paste Magazine, SARA Live, and The Black List). 

Atsuko’s viral moments are as legendary as her stand-up. From riding a Jeepney in the Philippines to starting the #DropChallenge that helped bring Beyoncé’s “Partition” back onto the charts, she’s a true queen of the internet. Her fans have even shown up at her shows wearing wigs styled like her signature bowl cut – a testament to how deeply she connects with her audience.

She took home a Gracie Award for “Best Special” in 2023 for THE INTRUDER and was nominated for “Best Comedian” at the Wowie Awards. Variety named her one of the “10 Comics to Watch” in 2022, and Vulture crowned her late-night debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden as a win.

Atsuko Okatsuka is proof that humour has no borders. Whether on stage, in viral videos, or on screen, her distinctive bowl cut is hard to forget and will leave you wanting more.
