BAD NEWS, PLUTO – COMEDY SKETCH FOR TEN ACTORS

It’s the annual planetary meeting and the planets are awaiting the arrival of Pluto, the ninth planet. Or at least until last week. Now Pluto has been reclassified and it’s their job to let him know that from this day forward Pluto will no longer be considered a real planet, merely a dwarf planet in this comedy sketch for ten actors.

But there are perks. After all, the dwarf planets get to hold their own dwarf planetary meeting, too. At a club. With beer and strippers. Maybe being a dwarf planet won’t be so bad after all…

It’s not always easy being a knight. Slaying dragons, rescuing maidens – well, it’s all in a day’s work. But it’s all worth it when he gets the maiden in the end. Not the dragon.

DONALD TRUMP: AMERICAN NIGHTMARE – SHORT DONALD TRUMP SKIT

It’s the night before the election results are announced and Donald Trump’s second worst nightmare is about to come true (The worst nightmare being his hair thinning a little on the top). The second worst nightmare is that he’s terribly, terribly afraid that he’s actually going to be made President – something he really doesn’t want at all. He never expected it to happen and now it looks like it’s about to come to pass. What will he do?

In a thoughtless moment he calls Hillary and Bill and tries to bargain with them, even bribing Bill with interns in a moment of desperation. But will they succumb in this short Donald Trump skit?

skit for two women

WOULD YOU LET ME FIN……….ish? SKIT FOR TWO WOMEN

A skit for two women about a semi famous psychic, Martha and her ardent fan, Amy. Amy who is just walking down the street bumps into Martha and instantly recognizes her from her book, “Psychic Dreams and Premonitions.” They get to talking, although to be fair, neither lets the other finish her sentences, and keeps interrupting the other.

Amy, who fancies herself as an amateur psychic tells Martha about her most recent dream. About Martha. Martha starts out with an interpretation but doesn’t get a chance to respond. Then Amy does the same thing until they are both slightly annoyed with each other. Martha decides to get rid of Amy. But how will Martha she do it? Well, in the most elaborate way possible. Using a psychic vision, of course!

JUDGE CHEWOUT – A COURTROOM SKIT

In this courtroom skit, Diana, a not too bright girl has accused her idiot boyfriend Max (whose IQ matches her own perfectly) of trying to kill her. He of course denies it. Unfortunately for the couple, they have gotten Judge Chewout (the most bad tempered judge in the entire world) to hear their case. Max gets up to defend himself and surprise surprise – it turns out he was right. He couldn’t have killed her and the suitcase full of money proves it.

SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH PHIL – TWO PERSON SKIT

A two-person skit for 1M 1F (or two M) in which Phil and Dee are sitting in the park discussing the recent death and funeral of Diane, who had been with Phil for twelve years. Phil was very attached to Diane and talks about her life to Dee, who knew her as well. The skit leads the audience into believing at the beginning that Diane was Phil’s spouse, but when he starts to talk about her great hips and shiny coat, you realize a lot more about who or what Diane really was!!

TRUMP: WOLF OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE – TRUMP COMEDY SKETCH

In this Trump comedy sketch, Donald trump is taken before “The Committee” to review his appointment as President of the United States and to tell him that nobody wants him. He can’t go back to The Apprentice – they don’t want him. American Idol already have Simon Cowell, so they don’t need Trump as well.

Whilst Trump furiously tweets to his followers (all 25% of America) how everybody is being mean to him, the committee decides his fate. And in his own words (well almost) – He’s fired!!

But how does he take it?

MY LITTLE MERMAID – SKIT ON THE LITTLE MERMAID

In this skit on The Little mermaid, Arial, our little mermaid (Not to be confused with the font) has her eye set on Prince Error (an unfortunate name that he couldn’t really help) who is a human. The only way she can get married to him and have lots of little merchildren is to become human. Since she is just sixteen, she just doesn’t have a checking account or even a credit card so she gives the evil sea queen, ”Umbrella” her voice as payment.

But the story ends well – she gets her voice back. Although she kind of sounds like Pinky Pie, nobody minds, really. As long as she doesn’t sing. Ever!! And they live happily ever after.
