The Improv Comedy Game 1989

The Improv Comedy Game is based on the TV show and actual comedy club, The Improv. It tests your ability to make your friends laugh through various actions and jokes. The game contains 4 booklets, one each of "Gags", "Improvs", Groans," and "Cracks", which are used for each player's turn.
