That's Right Bob is a short-form game in which two performers play co-hosts who must agree with everything the other says, building an increasingly absurd shared reality by enthusiastically validating each new claim. The game embodies the "yes and" principle at its most extreme and rewards escalation through mutual support.

Jeopardy
Jeopardy is a short-form game modeled on the television quiz show format, in which performers provide improvised questions to audience-supplied answers. The reversed format (answer first, then question) demands quick thinking and the ability to construct comedic setups from arbitrary punchlines. A host manages the game board and selects categories, while performer-contestants buzz in with their responses. The game rewards wit, timing, and the ability to find unexpected connections within the quiz show framework.
One Mouth
One Mouth is a game in which two performers stand close together and operate as a single character. One player provides the voice while the other provides the body and gestures, or both alternate control. The disconnection between voice and body creates physical comedy and demands intense coordination between the pair.
