Showko Showfukutei is a Ventriloquist, comedian, actor and one of the few female Rakugo performers in the world.  Born in Japan, Showko traveled the world with stops in Canada, Singapore, London to learn her craft which combines 400 year old Japanese comedy techniques and ventriloquism. I talk to Showko about her live stage shows, working on cruise ships, creating web series, being on Australia’s Got Talent and much more on this episode of Under The Puppet.
