Looking for tips on a 2-person show

[faceman]

I'm an improv coach/tutor/perfomer/addict here in Ireland and as you can imagine, there are many limitations being stuck in our rainy but lovely country, but this forum is fantastic even though I do far more reading than posting on it!

An opportunity has come up for me to faciliate a corporate gig for a management team in Chicago of all places in December! I have also been asked if I can put together some kind of performance too for the company. The audience will be 100 to 150 people.

Fortunately a friend of mine from Ireland who works for the company and swung me the gig will be there too. She is also a competent actor and has some internmediate level improv skills.

So I would like to put together a 2 person show (seeing as we have a nice male/female dynamic) and would like some ideas on format. My initial thoughts are a hybrid of long form scenes Armando styles and maybe a few games thrown in too.

Would welcome any input at all please!

Hey there, I'd love to be a resource to you if you want to email back and forth.

For formats, I'd recommend anything where you do some scenes and then go back to them in some way (the underlying framework of a Harold).

I don't know too much about corporate gig or how important it is to include stuff that's tailored to the audience, but I think any audience will appreciate a show where they can get into characters and scenarios and then be rewarded for that investment by getting more about them.
