Mr. So and So

How it Works

This is a game that;s more suited for rehearshal 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 .

 

Every new idea looked crazy at first --- Whitehead
