Easy-to-Imitate Comedian Impressions: Crowd-Pleasing Party/Performance Ideas (21–30)
Robert Akiyama’s body impersonations
“Body impersonation” is a comedy bit by Ryuji Akiyama of the duo Robert.
It’s a simple routine where you put on a mask of a celebrity whose body type resembles yours, but it’s surprisingly funny.
While going shirtless is a bit of a hurdle, muscle suits and similar items are now sold as party goods.
If you’re reluctant to undress, buying one of those might be a good option.
In the original act, a mask of Tatsuo Umemiya was the standard, but which celebrity mask you choose is up to you.
Pick one that matches your body shape!
sandwich board man
Winners of the 2007 M-1 Grand Prix, the duo Sandwichman now appear on numerous variety shows and consistently rank high in popularity polls.
If you perform a straight copy of one of their sketches, it’s sure to get the crowd going! What’s more, among their routines, a line that almost always appears—and has become one of their signature catchphrases—is: “I’m not really sure what you’re saying.” It’s a go-to bit not only when you’re imitating their act, but also when you just want to get a quick laugh!

EXIT
EXIT, known for their flashy banter, are especially popular with younger generations.
Even if you’re not young, that over-the-top vibe and snappy tempo just hook you—you can’t help but laugh.
If you’re a duo of guys planning a skit, doing an EXIT impression could be a great idea.
Their look is instantly recognizable, and even if you don’t nail the voices, a volley of flashy slang will probably carry it.
What you need on top of that is momentum.
Don’t be shy—keep the rhythm tight and power through with energy! Colorful wigs for the hair would be a nice touch, too!
Buruzon Chiemi
The comedy unit “Blouson Chiemi with B” was formed in 2017.
Their routine—delivering condescending advice set to American singer Austin Mahone’s “Dirty Work”—became explosively popular and was widely imitated.
In 2020, Blouson Chiemi announced she would perform under her real name, Shiori Fujiwara, and the duo Brillian, who played “with B,” disbanded.
Still, the act’s strong impact lingers, making it a great choice to liven up events like parties and weddings.
The routine is simple and easy to copy once you memorize it, so it could be an immediate crowd-pleaser as a performance.
Audrey
Kasuga from Audrey became popular for his unique look—pink vest and a techno-cut hairstyle—and his overly confident movements.
His appearance, mannerisms, and gags are very distinctive, so they should be easy to imitate.
His partner Wakabayashi also seems easy to mimic, with his calm yet sharp retorts and suit attire.
Performing an Audrey manzai routine with your friends would likely be a big hit.
Oideyasukoga
Their name spread rapidly after the 2020 M-1 Grand Prix, and now “Oideyasu Koga” are in constant demand on TV.
That irresistibly catchy bit where a song everyone knows suddenly turns into something completely unfamiliar halfway through—and Oideyasu Oda’s explosive, full-throated retorts.
I know what’s coming, but it’s so funny I end up watching it over and over.
Koga being oddly good at singing is impressive, too.
Whether it’s an original song or not, singing and then hitting the punchy comeback—there’s no doubt it’ll bring the house down!
Rainbow
The comedy duo Rainbow gained attention on a New Year’s TV program in 2018, and since then they’ve been appearing frequently on comedy shows.
The member who cross-dresses has an impressively high level of quality.
If you say they’re the two-man team where one member cross-dresses and they do the “You’re beautiful.” “No, I’m not.” routine, people will surely know who you mean, so I think they’re easy to impersonate.
