A MAN A PLAN JAPAN (and Ran in Hunan!)
William’s 8th travel show! This wild multimedia show about absurd travels takes you to China & Japan! Flashy Festivals, Insane runs (including an outrageous road in China), an abandoned amusement park, going thru the Buddha’s nostril, Fake food, Bond Island, Art Island, Rockabilly, Radiation, Sumo Wrestling and a foolhardy attempt to cover Japan from top to bottom one one week long rail pass! Come play along!
“William Jans seeks adventure and travels closer to the ground than most of us would dare. He’s rewarded with some extraordinary experiences—and it’s a pleasure to share them at his shows. You’ll leave inspired to step out of your comfort zone, too.”
(Georgia Straight Vancouver)

YES people can really get shoved into train cars to fit them in like sardines. This is the crazy Saikyu line coming in to Yamanote station. I opted to ride it too, and was nervous for a long time about trying this daring feat 😉

I loved all the sights and sounds and tales of William’s adventures – and William’s costumes were a real treat! What a wonderful, wonderful evening.” (vida Morkunas, Vancouver)
