Mr. So and So

Description

This is an improv game that`s more suited for rehearsal than for performance, though I can work on stage as well. Here is how it works.

Players call for new characters, by giving them names that refer to character or physical traits. Things like: Ah, here comes mr. Bad Irish Accent; I think we need Mrs. Pathological Liar for this one; Dear dear, if that isn`t Sir Eats-People. And so on.

The idea is to challenge the other players with weird and unexpected suggestions, and forcing htem to come up with an extravagant character right away. In a sense this is really institutionalised Pimping . Another game in which a similar pimping is used would be Supermen .
