Live Event
The daily live performances (open free to the public) are hosted by popular owarai duo Oriental Radio from approximately 4-6 pm and comedian Hosshan from approximately 6-9 pm. For the purposes of the show, the hosts are referred to as "navigators". The entire 5 hours is broadcast live on the Yoshimoto's television channel, Fandago TV, which is dedicated to broadcasting live owarai acts and Yoshimoto variety, and is also broadcast over the internet.
The contents of each show generally rotate according to a weekly schedule featuring many corners common to Japanese television, although guests and special appearances on the stage vary widely from day to day. Almost all of the guests on Yoshimoto Mugendai are minor Yoshimoto comedians, although much more famous acts (such as Jichō Kachō) have made appearances in the past.
There is an official monthly magazine for Yoshimoto Mugendai and the hall called YOOH! (shown right), featuring interviews with the guests and information on future shows.

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or event:
“To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“All the philosophy, therefore, in the world, and all the religion, which is nothing but a species of philosophy, will never be able to carry us beyond the usual course of experience, or give us measures of conduct and behaviour different from those which are furnished by reflections on common life. No new fact can ever be inferred from the religious hypothesis; no event foreseen or foretold; no reward or punishment expected or dreaded, beyond what is already known by practice and observation.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
