Both manga are about rakugo, passing art on to a new generation, and women's roles in Japan, but the way they are dealt with is completely different due to their intended audiences... just like how a rakugo performance must change based on the performer and the audience. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is THE rakugo manga. Aimed at josei, adult women, its themes and problems are deep and adult. Akane-banashi is more upbeat and refreshing as a shonen manga.

Both are a Shounen mangas about doing comedy. They do focus on different types of it, but overall I'd say they're pretty similar. Both are also published by Shueisha and simulpubed through their mangaplus service

Both are about japanese art forms (Acting & Rakugo)

If you're looking for something similar to Act-Age, Akane-banashi is a great fit. Similar to Act-Age, Akane-banashi follows Akane as she becomes a better actor, but in this case, the acting isn't on the big screens it's rakugo acting.

Both stories are infused with a love for the fact rakugo is meant to be altered to reach it's audiences hearts.

If you want more knowledge about the rakugo canon that Akane explores and alters in Akane-banashi, give Drifting Stories a try. The stories are illustrated in the gekiga style, which gives them that retro low town charm that fits so well with rakugo.

Both manga are about girls (or girl-tanuki) trying to enter the world of rakugo. Akane-banashi is more serious and better over all, but Uchi no Shishou is silly fun for rakugo fanatics too.
