This is a performance art called Rakugo, a type of comedic storytelling from one person. This is more of a one man show, with the narrator playing each of the characters in the story. Most of the stories are already planned out and must be memorized beforehand, making the storytellers very talented with expressions and leading the tone. This is a very ancient art that still strives in modern times, being very popular in Japan and now spreading to the west. I like rakugo and listen to it on the background, but to get the full experience you need to actually watch it since they do a lot of expressions and hand movements simulating opening and closing doors, etc...
