How to Play The "World's Worst" Game in Improv

The television show "Whose Line is it Anyway" made the improv game "World's Worst" popular as entertainment. But playing the game can be as fun as watching it.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Form a line with all your improvisers.

2. Have one improviser step forward and get a suggestion from the audience for an occupation, such as "accountant."

3. Rather then thinking too hard about what would be funny, simply let your mind rest on the first thing that pops in when you think of a "bad accountant."

4. One at a time each improviser should step forward with a short monologue in the character voice of a person who is the world's worst accountant. The monologues should go on for about 30 seconds at the most, or just until the idea is conveyed.

5. As soon as one improvisers characters becomes clear, another improviser should step forward and end the monologue with the beginning of their own.

6. Continue the game until everyone has gone at least two times or the game has gone one for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't try to be funny, try to be honest.
