I hope they do some more in the future. Looks like the audience was really enjoying it, too. I'd be interested in doing something similar if I wasn't built like a flagpole :-( I loved it!

Apparently Dave Eastgate is some kind of comedian from Australia (albeit that he is a complete unknown downunder). So now I understand that this was not merely your usual random exhibitionist gaijin stupidity. It's merely comedian stupidity. I forgive Dave since he's obviously just trying to make a living. Good luck mate ! It seems I spoke too soon. Apparently Dave Eastgate is some kind of comedian from Australia (albeit that he is a complete unknown downunder).

Once the show started, it was clear this was something that was supposed to be looked at, and so people looked.

Of things white boys can do half-naked in public in Japan, this was better than many, but a little more effort would help - sumo is never done in the full kesho-mawashi 'apron' for one thing. They should have had the courage of their convictions and not worn underpants/shorts. And a ittle more overall dignity, as if this were a genuine tournament between two yokozuna and not a street performance, would be nice - all those exaggerated gestures reminded me of Mitoizumi. The best comedy is played straight. I liked the old dude with the hat being the referee – that looked unscripted.
