[Parties & Drinking Gatherings] A roundup of crowd-pleasing one-shot gags for women! (51–60)
animal impersonation
Let’s try to faithfully recreate the animals we see at zoos, aquariums, and in documentary footage.
By thoroughly portraying scenes that show animals aren’t just cute, you can also convey that person’s surprising range.
It’s a performance where boldly and energetically embodying the animals—down to accurately capturing each one’s facial expressions and acting with your whole body—is key.
Turning it into a quiz about which animal is being imitated is also recommended!
tongue twister
For women wondering what to do at a drinking party or wedding reception: tongue twisters are a fun, worry-free option for entertainment, even if you’re not good at quick gags or impressions.
There’s a wide variety—from classic ones that combine words you don’t normally use, to longer sentences that are easier to attempt if you prepare in advance.
Plus, they don’t require any special props and can be tried anywhere with ease.
They also make for an exciting group game where you compete for the fastest time! The laughter that comes from stumbling or misspeaking will only boost the fun even more.
mental arithmetic
Women who are strong with numbers have that capable, cool vibe, don’t they? If you often work with figures, why not show off your skills with some mental math? Flash anzan—rapid-fire calculations of numbers that appear one after another on the screen—is sure to draw attention! There are plenty of flash anzan videos online, so it’s easy to try.
It could also be fun to mentally calculate numbers that people around you call out at random.
Go ahead and show off the skills you’ve honed in your day-to-day work!
Cosplay impersonations of trending anime characters
How about going all out with cosplay and impressions of anime characters? If it’s a popular character, there are cosplay kits for sale.
It might also be fun to gather materials from a 100-yen shop and make it yourself.
If you pick a well-known character, even if your impression isn’t spot-on, the cosplay can carry you (lol).
Characters from currently trending anime are especially exciting.

Card magic
Let’s try some sure-fire crowd-pleasing card magic! It may seem difficult, but some tricks are easy to start with, so practice and give them a try.
Of course, practicing the tricks themselves is important, but the way you hold, display, and handle the cards also changes how the audience perceives them, so be mindful of those aspects as you practice.
There are many types of tricks—like guessing a chosen card or making the same card appear no matter how many times the deck is shuffled—so pick something that feels approachable for you.
quick necktie knot
A quick tie-knot that looks cool! How do you do it? Your coworkers who wear ties every day will definitely ask.
First, drape the tie over your hand so both ends are the same length, with the wide end in front.
Wrap the wide end around from the front and hook it, then make a loop with the wide end and wrap it around the hand that’s holding the tie.
Next, hold the narrow end, pass the tie behind your neck, and thread it through the loop.
Finally, pull the wide and narrow ends at the same time to tighten the knot, then shape it to finish.
It’s easy, so give it a try!
ventriloquism
Ventriloquism is the art of projecting your voice without moving your mouth, making it look as if the puppet is speaking.
It’s fascinating to see a performer appear to have a real conversation or comedy routine with a puppet.
How about trying ventriloquism as a quick party trick? There are various tips and training methods—like practicing pronunciation while lightly biting your tongue or keeping the corners of your mouth raised—so be sure to practice thoroughly before the big moment.
Preparing your dialogue material is important, too, so plan that carefully.
Create a fun time together with your favorite puppet!
