Justin Lee Collins: Turning Japanese

Justin Lee Collins heads east to learn more about Japanese culture, beginning with an exploration of love and relationships. In Tokyo, he visits a store specialising in women's underwear adapted for male proportions, demonstrates his pulling technique in a dating class, investigates the world of `love dolls', and gets a sleek new look to spend the evening as an escort.

The comedian visits Osaka to master the art of manzai, a traditional form of stand-up that combines slapstick with rapid-fire delivery, before trying out his new-found skills in a busy shopping centre. He also visits the Edo Wonderland theme park, eats at an Alcatraz-themed diner and heads to a bar where the drinks are served by a trained monkey. He concludes his stay by making his comedy debut at a transsexual cabaret bar.
