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:
“Why should the generations overlap one another at all? Why cannot we be buried as eggs in neat little cells with ten or twenty thousand pounds each wrapped round us in Bank of England notes, and wake up, as the Sphinx wasp does, to find that its papa and mamma have not only left ample provision at its elbow but have been eaten by sparrows some weeks before we began to live consciously on our own accounts?”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“The event combined with
Beams leading up to it for the look of force adapted to the wiser
Usages of age, but it’s both there
And not there, like washing or sawdust in the sunlight,
At the back of the mind, where we live now.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
