Improv Ask the Expert
One player is an expert on a subject the audience invents — the mating habits of clouds, competitive napping — and takes questions from the host or crowd. The expert knows nothing, and it doesn't matter: the game is total, unshakeable confidence. Every answer is delivered as settled fact, and the expert is never, ever wrong. It's a pure confidence and character drill, ideal for nervous players. There's no scene to build and no partner to track — just the discovery that commitment alone is funny, and that certainty invents its own logic if you never flinch.
🎓 Tips
Confidence is the whole game. The moment the expert hedges or laughs at themselves, it dies — coach unwavering, deadpan authority. Let answers build their own mad internal logic. Callbacks to earlier "facts" are gold, so reward players who remember what they invented. A great tool for anxious students: give them the expert seat. Being allowed to be wrong-with-confidence is freeing.
