"She has been noted for delivering her comedy in English, despite Japanese being her first language."

"Noted?" As she is an "England-based Japanese comedian", how can that be noteworthy? If she delivered it in Japanese her British audience wouldn't understand her! She may be noted for being a Japanese comedian working in England, but hardly as one who performs her routine in English, no matter where she is from.

Postscript: A good comparison here is Henning Wehn who makes a living out of being a German comedian in Britain, playing up to the stereotypes of both countries. Samatarou (talk) 20:47, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
