Atrae’s YouTube channel Kaishainzu is launching a new sketch comedy show, “Work Is a Sketch Today Too: The Slightly Absurd Daily Lives of Working People,” premiering Friday, October 30 at 6:00 PM JST.

Set in the workplace where people of different values, work styles, and positions collide, the show takes a comedic look at the “how did it come to this?” moments that play out every day at the office. The cast includes comedian duo The Mami and actor-comedian Hiroki Konno, with plans to bring in guests from a range of genres including idols going forward.

From miscommunication between managers and their teams, to workplace absurdities, to the way work itself keeps changing with the times — the show puts a comic spin on the situations anyone who’s ever held a job will instantly recognize.
