Playing the "One Brain" Improv Game

Hi guys. We're here learning how to play some fun improv games. And now Dan B and I will show you have to play a game called, "One Brain". To play "One Brain", you're going to get a suggestion from the audience. And then any number of cast members up on the stage is going to take turns improvising the answer, one word at a time. Since there's only two of us right now. Dan B and I are just going to alternate words but you want to have as many improvisers as possible. Because there's a bigger possibility for a non secular response. So, let's assume that we just got a question from the audience. And the question is: How do I find true love? Dan B and I are gong to answer..oh I forgot to mention that at the end of the sentence, whenever you feel like the sentence is wrapped up or the answer is wrapped up, instead of saying period, you take a deep breath and go, "Hmmm". And that's how you know that the answer is complete. So the question is: How do I find true love? Dan, do you want to start off the first word? To, find, true, love, one, must, go, down, the, street, of, joy. Hmmm. And that's how you play "One Brain".
