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.

There is a pegboard in the center of the game board to keep track of each player's score; players move their pegs point by point from "beginner" to "star", and the first person to become a star is the winner of the game. The equipment included is listed in the rules as follows: "12 pawns, 4 hilarious comedy booklets, 3 colored dice, 1 timer, 1 game board/score board, 0 Mercedes convertibles
