Impersonation of Gambaruyer (Japanese comedy duo)
Why not try performing an impression of the 7th-generation female comedy duo Ganbareruya? Speaking of Ganbareruya’s Yoshiko, her bit where she transforms into actress Koyuki is especially popular.
You could wear a long black wig and do the same routine, or you could show a transformation from your natural self into “actress so-and-so.” It’s a skit that kids and adults alike will enjoy watching, so be sure to try it at parties and gatherings.
And don’t forget the line, “To stay beautiful…”!
Moving chopsticks
Surprise everyone with a trick where a pair of disposable chopsticks seem to glide on their own! Staple a rubber band to the back of the chopsticks, loop the band around your finger, and use the band’s stretch to make it look like the chopsticks are smoothly moving.
If someone asks to inspect the chopsticks, the secret will be exposed—so it’s really a one-shot gag!
Impression of Noura Hirano
Ms.
Nora Hirano, dressed in outfits and hairstyles reminiscent of the bubble era, performs gags that exude a Showa vibe.
At a company drinking party with a wide range of ages, we recommend doing some bubble-era material! Brightly colored suits with shoulder pads and permed “sauvage” hair will feel fresh to the younger generation and nostalgic to your bosses.
Be sure to prepare not only the bubble dance but also Nora Hirano’s specialty—puns.
If you can create improvised puns on words given to you on the spot, you’ll be perfect!
card boomerang
This is a quick trick you can do using playing cards like a deck of trump cards.
Once you get the hang of the throwing technique, it seems like you can master it right away.
Another plus is that as long as you have a single card on you, you can do it anytime, anywhere.
If you carry a pack of 100-yen store playing cards, you can show it off in any situation (lol).
Juggling
Juggling, which you can practice quietly on your own and perform even in a small space, is one of the party tricks especially recommended for women.
That said, manipulating juggling balls with both hands on different timings can be quite difficult for beginners.
Here’s a handy tip: use one hand to control two balls, and with the other hand simply hold a ball and move it so it looks like you’re doing a tricky move.
Since you can focus only on the movement of one hand, even first-timers can master it relatively easily! Once you’ve gotten used to it, try moving on to more advanced tricks that use both hands.
Kanako Yanagihara impersonation
This is a routine by an entertainer who’s good at impersonating store clerks you might see at shops you regularly visit—especially those so-called “charismatic” staff.
Whether they actually exist or not, many people will probably think, “I feel like I’ve seen someone like this…” and relate to it.
It’s an especially good one-shot gag recommended for women who are confident speaking in front of others.
