portrait (caricature)
Being good at drawing can score you points even at a group dating party, right? If you’re confident, go ahead and casually sketch a quick portrait to show off your skills.
Anyone can be your model, but drawing one of the participants in front of you is a great way to really showcase your ability.
Setting a time limit like “one minute” can make it even more fun.
However, since you want to leave a good impression, be careful with caricature-style exaggeration—it can be risky! Make sure your drawing doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings or spoil the mood.
Elementary school kids’ manzai comedy! Five in a row
How about a strategy where you rattle off a bunch of not-so-funny, elementary-school-level gags to chill the mood or sober people up? Even things that aren’t funny can have meaning.
The moment you realize not everything has to land, your mindset starts to shift positively.
And if the gags themselves don’t get a laugh, you can tie it all together by saying, “Did that help sober anyone up? Did it make things feel a bit cooler?”—and just like that, your corny jokes take on a purpose.
A classroom-relatable skit
There are certain things at school that make everyone go, “So true!” right? Like the crushing sleepiness after school lunch or after swimming class, or the way the person whose attendance number matches the date always gets called on… How about putting on a short skit that showcases those school ‘relatable moments’? It’s a great idea to include not only things every elementary school student has probably experienced, but also quirks unique to your own school.
Doing impressions of distinctive teachers could be fun, too! Since the skit is built around shared experiences, it’s sure to get natural laughs from the audience.
I tried becoming a historical figure.
How about performing a quiz themed around famous historical figures as a quick gag? You could crawl around on all fours shouting “Tsuyoshi!” to portray Tsuyoshi Inukai, or clap your hands quietly with a distant look to portray Kim Jong Un.
Picture the person’s name and traits, and use your body and facial expressions to represent them.
The way you act it out will look pretty funny to the audience, so I think it’ll become a one-shot joke that makes people laugh while they enjoy the quiz.
Parody of a commercial
There are those famous commercials that everyone knows, right? How about doing a bit that uses a memorable line or jingle from one of those ads? The one introduced here is a skit based on CHOYA’s “Sararito Shita Umeshu” commercial.
To the melody used in the ad, they stroke their own arm and say, “smooth arm hair.” I’m sure there are other commercials you can use, so why not look around and come up with your own bit? Your original routine might just steal the laughs!

Once you get the hang of it, it’s easy! Plate spinning
Although it seems difficult at first, plate spinning is surprisingly doable with a little practice, and it really has that party-trick feel—highly recommended.
Choose plates that are durable and have a base.
Hook the stick onto the rim of the base, keep the stick straight, and spin it quickly; it’s easier than you’d think.
Once you can spin one by yourself, try exchanging spinning plates with a few people.
If you get really good, you might find yourself always keeping a plate-spinning plate tucked in your bag.
Fun, isn’t it?
Recommended for koma lovers! Tightrope-walking tricks
If you’re good at spinning tops, how about showing off a slightly more advanced trick called “tightrope walking”? In this trick, the top travels along a string that you hold taut with both hands.
Before attempting it, you first need to learn a move called “Swallow Return.” Swallow Return is a trick where you throw a top with its string wound and catch it spinning on your palm.
Once the top is on your palm, hook both ends of the string around your index fingers.
Raise the hand without the top slightly; when the top’s spindle touches the string, lower the raised hand and guide the top along—if it keeps moving, you’ve nailed the trick! Practice well and give it a try.
