Men’s Recommended Party Acts and Entertainment to Liven Up Events [2026] (81–90)
Instrument performance
It’s good to perform with instruments ranging from guitar, bass, and drums to shamisen and taiko, regardless of genre.
It works with a solo performer or a large group.
It’s best to choose songs that everyone knows.
It takes practice, so it can be a bit challenging, but it’s sure to get everyone excited.
Don’t cry.
This is a karaoke performance of Hiroshi Tachi’s classic 1984 hit “Nakanaide,” featuring call-and-response interjections by a group of men dressed in women’s clothing.
The convincing Tachi impersonation and the well-timed interjections are really making the audience laugh.
tile breaking
Many people have seen dynamic demonstrations in karate where roof tiles are broken with force.
Quite a few men may have admired that powerful, cool display.
So why not show off some tile breaking as entertainment at a party? You might think, “There’s no way it’s that easy!!” but in fact, there are special, easy-to-break tiles sold specifically for tile breaking! They’re designed so that even beginners can break them, so go all out, smash those tiles, and flash a confident, triumphant grin (lol)! It makes a strong visual impact and can be performed in a short time, making it perfect for party entertainment.
Perfume performed by three men
Wouldn’t it actually look pretty cool if guys did it—Perfume, I mean? If you match the costumes to that style, it’ll be even more exciting.
Sharp, precise dancing is cool, but I think going for something comedic is also totally valid.
Ojamajo CarnivalMAHO-do
Do you know Ojamajo Doremi? Since it aired in 1999, it has been one of the anime series loved by many girls.
How about dancing to its theme song, Ojamajo Carnival? The unique lyrics and lively music and dance make it perfect for party entertainment or performances.
It’s fun to dance in men’s outfits like in the video, but dressing up in cute costumes like the Ojamajo Doremi characters will make it even more exciting! Use this video as a reference, have everyone dance with full energy, and make it a fun performance.
Buruzon Chiemi
How about a male version of “Blouson Chiemi”? You could go with a white shirt and a tight skirt, or a suit as a ‘career salaryman’ instead of a career woman.
You could probably get the crowd going by riffing on in-jokes and relatable situations specific to the people there.
The roll dance of “Choo Choo TRAIN”EXILE
EXILE’s smash hit song “Choo Choo TRAIN.” The rolling dance choreography was also a big craze.
So, how about this as an entertainment act? You don’t have to dance the whole thing—just do the distinctive rolling dance or the easy-to-follow moves, or even perform only the first half.
I think that would work well.
Highly recommended.
Guitar and vocals (solo performance)
If you’re a guy who can play guitar, you’ve got to put that skill to use even for party entertainment! This video is a cover of Sukima Switch’s “Kanade.” Wild partying is fun, but if the group is a bit more laid-back, pulling off a gentle, heartfelt song like this can look really cool.
There are plenty of people sharing cover arrangements of other songs as well, so try searching for them.
Pull out the bill wedged in a beer bottle
This is a party trick using beer bottles, which you’ll almost always find at a banquet.
Stack two beer bottles vertically by aligning their mouths, and place a bill between them.
The trick is to pull out the bill without touching the bottles and without knocking them over.
If you simply grab the edge of the bill and pull, you’ll fail and topple the bottles.
But if you hold one edge of the bill and use your other hand to strike around the center of the bill straight down, the bill will snap out cleanly! It’ll be even more exciting if you let someone else fail first and then perform it yourself.
A flawless rock ’n’ roller
It’s a performance with an Elvis Presley-style outfit, a perfectly styled pompadour, and an eccentric guitar slung over the shoulder.
He moves all around the stage to songs by Aladdin, a band active in the 1980s.
It’s quite a high-energy act.
