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:
“by and by, the cause of my disease
Gives me a pang that inwardly doth sting,
When that I think what grief it is again
To live and lack the thing should rid my pain.”
—Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
“It is known that Whistler when asked how long it took him to paint one of his “nocturnes” answered: “All of my life.” With the same rigor he could have said that all of the centuries that preceded the moment when he painted were necessary. From that correct application of the law of causality it follows that the slightest event presupposes the inconceivable universe and, conversely, that the universe needs even the slightest of events.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
