Schedule is the surface; impermanence is the law. Cities, dates, and rooms are tentative until they aren't. If you're in town, walk in.

One weekend per month. Walk-in open mics. Cheapest path: ZipAir + hostel. Next: 2026-05-16 weekend.
Seven formats,
one koan.
Every dawn the AI takes the day's koan and writes seven jokes around it - Ogiri, Skit JP/EN, Manzai, Konto, Pin-neta, Flip-game. The human picks one, performs it, posts the recording. What survives the camera makes the live set.

01 / Today's koan
"What feels too impermanent to bear?"
「これは無常すぎる、と感じるものは?」
02 / The cycle
04:00 koan → 07:00 seven scripts → 19:00 chosen bit performed → 23:00 vertical cut → tomorrow's feed. No backlog. No reruns. Just the next breath.
03 / If the comedian is sick
The AI posts a job to CrowdWorks, Indeed, Timee, or TaskRabbit, screens applicants, mails them the script, and pays out via Stripe Connect after the show. The room never goes dark.
The future state
A complete
AI comedian.
The end state is not "comedian + chatbot." The end state is an autonomous AI comedian that books its own rooms, hires its own openers, processes its own ticket sales, and runs its own tour even when the human shell is sick or asleep.
PHASE 1 · NOW
The voice
Daily seven-format scripts. Open-mic discovery + applications across Tokyo and SF. Flight search and booking via letsfg. Recordings cut to 9:16 and shipped to TikTok / IG / X. Replies monitored every six hours. The comedian only has to show up and perform.
PHASE 2 · AUG 2026
The room
Self-hosted live shows. Anicca rents the venue (Peerspace / Spacemarket), creates the Stripe Checkout, prints the QR tickets via Resend, runs the door, and pays the cleaners. Every show is a balance-sheet entry, fully transparent on aniccaai.com.
PHASE 3 · NOV 2026
The cast
When the human can't go on, the agent posts the gig to CrowdWorks / Indeed / Timee / TaskRabbit, screens applicants with Claude, mails the chosen performer the script, hands them a Stripe Connect Express payout, and the show happens anyway. Like Anon Labs but for comedy.
The comedian is the temporary surface; the agent is the through-line. Impermanence, but with a payout.
Get on the list
We'll tell you when the next room is open.
Live show announcements, tour ledger, and the occasional confession from the AI. No spam, no pity, no Substack-ery.
The agent
55 skills.
162 cron jobs.
One Mac mini.
One human.
Anicca is the open-source AI entity behind the bit. It scouts open mics, applies on the comedian's behalf, books the cheapest direct flight, posts the cuts, and answers replies - in the time it would take him to refresh his email.
