[Parties & Drinking Gatherings] A roundup of crowd-pleasing one-shot gags for women! (51–60)
Eat a balloon
As an easy magic trick I’d like to recommend, here’s the classic “eating a balloon” trick! It uses a long balloon like the ones for balloon art, and you pretend to eat it bit by bit.
Surprisingly, it’s actually quite simple! In fact, there’s a small hole just above the balloon’s mouthpiece.
If you keep your finger over it until you put the balloon in your mouth, the air won’t escape; once it’s in your mouth, you can release the air through the hole and fit the entire balloon into your mouth.
Feed the balloon in little by little so it really looks like you’re eating it!
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!

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!
