[Parties and Drinking Gatherings] A Selection of Crowd-Pleasing One-Shot Gags for Women! (41–50)
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!
Coin magic muscle pass
It’s a quick trick you can do anywhere as long as you have a coin.
Of course, a coin dropped from the upper hand will fall downward due to gravity, but in this trick you toss the coin from the lower hand to the upper hand without using your fingers, making it look as if the coin is floating.
The key is to flick the coin using the base of your thumb.
Give it a try and start practicing!
Chuei’s one-shot gag
Chuuei from the comedy duo Nagareboshi has tons of one-shot gags that make you burst out laughing.
Since many of his bits are short and high-energy, they’re perfect for drinking parties and banquet entertainment! It might feel a little embarrassing for women to do exaggerated facial expressions, but boldly contorting your face to get laughs is a big key.
Power through it with spirit and momentum!
Impersonations of Disney characters
Impressions of Disney characters are an easy, low-barrier act for women to try.
They’re recognizable across generations—people will instantly think, “Oh, that character!”—so even those not used to performing can do them without hesitation.
Mickey, Donald, and Winnie the Pooh are popular, and lately, musical-style impressions like those from Frozen are also great options!
3 o’clock Heroine: “Common Tropes in Foreign TV Dramas”
The 7th-generation female comedy trio, 3ji no Heroine.
How about performing their popular “Foreign TV Drama Clichés” routine as entertainment at a party or drinking get-together? It recreates those classic scenes you can’t help but chuckle at if you watch international dramas.
It’s perfect for a group of women to do together, and if you match your outfits and makeup to the theme, it’ll really pop on stage! Don’t be shy—go big, keep the pace snappy, and play it up!
