Guess the Job
1985-present · London
Also known as What's My Line, Endowment Job
One player leaves the room; the team takes an obscure job suggestion and must mime clues until the returning player guesses the profession.
Known for
- A Comedy Store Players signature since the mid-80s — older than Whose Line.
- Different from Party Quirks: here the guesser is outside, and everyone is endowing one single job, not individual quirks.
- Obscure jobs win the game — 'competitive cheese roller,' 'royal mattress tester,' 'submarine sonar operator.'
- Paul Merton, Josie Lawrence, and Neil Mullarkey all have tape of this one.
