Improv Comedy Games: Questions Only

Video Transcript

"Hey guys. We're here today learning how to play some fun new improv games for your improv team, and now Dan B. and I are going to demonstrate a game called Questions Only. You've probably seen a variation of Questions Only in any of the improv television shows, but Dan and I are going to go ahead and demonstrate it for you. Basically, you're going to get two, three, or four actors to recreate a scene based on an audience location suggestion using only questions as the lines of dialogue. So let's say our location suggestion is, we are two beat poet concert promoters discussing a new act that we want to get booked in our poetry club, and we can only use questions. Ready? Can't you see that we need a fresh, new act? Have you considered getting this crazy jive turkey from up in Chicago? Chicago? Where is that? Are you to tell me you've never heard of the great city of Chicago up north in Illinois? Would I be stupid if I didn't? Would you be stupid if you had, my man? Do I dig dug? Do you? Would I be remiss to say that I do dig things you say sometimes but don't other times? Do you think the audience at home has figured out how we play this game yet?"
