Special Guests
EXIT
EXIT formed as a duo in December 2017. They gained attention after appearing on TV Tokyo's "God Tongue" in July 2018, and in November of the same year, they held a solo live show at Lumine the Yoshimoto just 11 months after forming—the fastest achievement among comedians affiliated with Yoshimoto Kogyo. They successfully held a solo live show at Pacifico Yokohama in 2019 and completed a tour across all 47 prefectures in 2023. Their activities extend beyond comedy, including producing the apparel brand "EXIEEE."
