Ogiri - Ogiri

Japanese: 大喜利 - おおぎり

The name of a performance that is added independently after the final act of a show. It can also be written as Taisetsu. It originally started in late Edo Kabuki, where an act that was unrelated to the previous plot was added to end the day's plays on a bright note. It has come to refer to a large group of people performing unusual arts after the last performer (tori) has finished at a vaudeville theater, and the latter is more common today.

Japanese:

興行の最終演目の後に，独立して付けられる出し物の呼び名。大切とも書く。もともとは江戸末期の歌舞伎が，前の筋立てと縁のない1幕を付け，1日の芝居を明るく閉じるようにしたのが始まり。転じて寄席で，最終演者 (とり) が終えた後，大勢で珍芸などを披露することを指すようになり，現在では後者の方が一般的。
