Following the success of her first comedy tour and HBO special The Intruder, Atsuko Okatsuka's current global tour, Full Grown Tour, has performed to sold out theaters in 56 cities in 12 countries. In addition to her stand-up career, she had two films debut at the Tribeca film festival: All That We Love directed by Yen Tan and Group Therapy directed by Neil Berkely and produced by Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat productions. She also wrapped the feature studio comedy Outcome, for Apple starring Jonah Hill and Keanu Reeves. Her debut standup special, The Intruder–directed by Tig Notaro premiered on HBO, December 2022 and was named the Best Debut Special of 2022 by The New York Times and one of the Best Specials of 2022 by Vulture and Variety. She won the 2023 Gracie Award for Best Special and Okatsuka was nominated for Best Comedian by the Wowie Awards. She was named one of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch for 2022, and when she made her late-night stand-up debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Vulture proclaimed she “won late-night.”
Other on-screen credits include History of the World PT. II (Hulu), Room 104 (HBO), and The Show Next Door with Randall Park (ROKU+). Okatsuka was recently featured on This American Life with Ira Glass and told the story of how she got to the USA. She was raised by her grandmother, and they created the #DropChallenge together which has amassed more than 10 million views. Her unique upbringing brings an artfully offbeat resilient persona which is perfectly embodied in her blunt bangs and bowl cut.
