How to Do an Improv Tag Team Monologue

Video Transcript

ANDREW STUBBLEFIELD: So the next game we're going to be talking about is tag team monologue. Basically, one person would step up front of the stage and start to tell 'em a monologue, something that happened to them. They will do it in a character, so you want to establish your character, and then at any point during that, another team player can come and tag them out and then take on the same character and continue where they left off, be it midsentence, mid word, wherever they left off. So to get things started, why don't we get a profession? JAYNE ENTWISTLE: Astronaut. ANDREW STUBBLEFIELD: Astronaut. Great. So I will go ahead and step forward and start doing a scene based on astronaut. Oh, I remember forty years ago today, I was sitting in my living room watching the most grand story ever told. It was about traveling to space. JAYNE ENTWISTLE: I never thought that we would actually make it to space. I thought it was all going to be science fiction but I saw that rocket take off... ANDREW STUBBLEFIELD: ...into the sky as fast as it could possibly go and I was engaged. And from that moment on, I wanted to be... JAYNE ENTWISTLE: ...an astronaut. That's it. It consumed my brain. I wanted to go fast, I wanted to... ANDREW STUBBLEFIELD: ...to go slow, fast, slow. My heart was racing. I didn't know if it was day or night, up or down, left or right. Everything was beginning to go nuts. And that's basically tag team monologue. You tag in and out. Kind of the gimmick of the game is you tag quicker and faster and it kinda brings up the momentum, and a lot of the fun is stopping in mid sentence like P-iano, you know. It's a fun little gimmick to the game. And that's tag team monologue.
