Improv Comedy Games: Nine Word Sentences

Video Transcript

"Hey guys. We're learning how to do some improv exercises today, and Dan B. and I are now going to show you how to play a game called Nine Word Sentences. Now, Nine Word Sentences is a pretty self-explanatory title. You're going to have two players create a scene with each sentence only having nine words. Now, you're definitely going to need to have your fingers out to count. And so don't worry about sitting there and rattling off. But, and you're also going to probably going to be taking your time with it, because it is challenging to try to find the right beat to cram your sentence into nine words. But it's a fun game and after all your actors have had a chance running through nine, then you can pick a different number, like three, or ten, or fifty. I wouldn't use fifty, because that's really big. But Dan and I are going to go ahead and do a scene with the location suggestion of in a garage. Two guys work in a garage, and let's see how far we can get through this. I can't believe you would hammer with such precision. I've been hammering my whole life. Please give chance. I certainly will, good sir. Let's see how do. I do like this, sir. Watch and learn this. I certainly will, my good man. I will, man. That's hard. It really is, but it's a fun game, though, too. And that's Nine Word Sentences."
