Fresh from the late-night television circuit in Japan and a European tour, The Tokyo Shock Boys are hitting the Big Apple. At the off-Broadway Minetta Lane Theatre, the four kamikaze comics drop fireworks down their pants, spit milk from their eyes, and swallow scorpions and cigarettes.
Geeks of global proportions, the troupe sold out the Sydney Opera House and a venue in London's West End and even gave a command performance for the queen of Denmark.
Shock Boy Nambu performs one trick audience members few will try at home. Tethered to a chair by his testicles, the showman tows volunteers across the stage. Carol Channing would be hard-pressed to top that.
