Party performances to liven things up: Recommended skits and entertainment for women [2026] (21–30)
I tried singing with a voice imitation
Instead of performing a song straight, how about incorporating some impersonation elements? Even people who feel embarrassed singing plainly might find it easier if they’re “playing” a role.
It could be fun to imitate an anime character’s voice while choosing a song that contrasts with that character’s image.
You could also try dialogue exchanges between different characters from the same work, or create a dream collaboration between characters from different works—there are lots of possibilities.
Singing impressions
Impersonating celebrities might feel a bit daunting, but there are probably quite a few people who could handle singing impressions, right? Especially if you’re a good singer—even if the impression isn’t spot-on, it’s still worth showing off just for the singing! Songs with a bit of dance in them seem like they’d really get the crowd going.
pretend idol
A classic crowd-pleaser for company parties and the like: impersonating an idol! Whether you’re a man or a woman, put on a cute frilly costume and sing and dance—you’re guaranteed to be a hit! Flash a beaming smile you don’t usually show, throw in the occasional wink, and strike those heart-melting idol poses, and the room will erupt in laughter and applause.
Singing while dancing is trickier than it looks, but what matters is performing with confidence, not perfection.
Channel your inner idol and turn the venue into a fever-pitch live concert!
Flip skit: “Idioms”
This is a flip-board performance by Akira Ishida of the comedy duo NON STYLE.
The great thing about this routine is that you can prepare in advance, write everything on the flip boards, and go on stage, which makes it less likely you’ll forget your lines.
It’s especially recommended for people who get nervous!
recorder
How about trying a party trick using the recorder that most people learned in elementary school? In school, you usually play children’s songs, which have fewer notes and seem like anyone could play them with a bit of practice.
So if you pull out a recorder at a party, many people will probably assume you’re going to play that kind of tune.
Why not turn that expectation on its head and perform a popular song that’s rarely played on the recorder? At the party, people will first be puzzled—what song is this?—and the moment they recognize it, the room will erupt with excitement.
papercutting
Here’s an introduction to “kamigiri,” a performance you can do with just paper and scissors.
This is truly a skill-based art, so it takes practice, but if you can perform it, it’s sure to make you stand out at any party.
Simply put, you present improvised paper-cut art while talking.
What you say is up to you, but it’s good to touch on the theme—what you’re expressing.
Watching hands move decisively without any preliminary sketch makes you excited, wondering what it will become.
Once you’ve chosen a theme, start by drawing a rough outline at first and practice so you can cut smoothly.
Eyelash Toothpick Challenge
As a quirky party trick that gets everyone smiling at banquets or drinking parties, the “Eyelash Toothpick Challenge” is super fun.
Balance a toothpick directly on your own eyelashes or gently on false lashes, and compete to see who can keep it from falling the longest! It’s a light, slightly nerve‑racking game that sparks laughter.
Perfect for livening things up—cheer each other on with a friendly “You’ve got this!” and the mood will naturally warm up.
The best tip: relax and just have fun!
