SLIM FAT COMMERCIAL – SKIT ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS FADS

This short skit about weight loss fads pokes fun at the weight loss fads and the gimmicks people use as well as the advertisements that promote them. From a thin guy wearing enormous pants to the man in a bikini because “All weight loss adverts have someone in a bikini!” to the referee who appears to break up a fight between the two guys, it’s all fun from beginning to end.

Please note: The full skit is 1.5 pages long – about 2 minutes.

ART TALK – COMEDY SKITS FOR THREE ACTORS

comedy skits for three

Two pretentious art aficionados meet in a gallery that is exhibiting monochrome paintings by a famous Spanish artist. Naturally they try to impress each other with their art knowledge, smug in the knowledge that they know exactly what to say to impress each other. They are interrupted by “Smith,” an ordinary Joe, who points out that the painting is actually painted with red paint, but that he likes them anyway and that the the red painting is nicer than the green and blue ones. What to do when your pretentious bubble is burst…

Art Talk is one of a series of short plays collectively known as “Ugly Art.”

Mouthpiece Productions remedies this by taking theatre to the people. And if has certainly deliver the goods with its latest festival offering – Ugly Art… The show was a treat – a performance of this quality is worth traveling to watch. The show was light accessible and above all, very entertaining.

Sumter Item, Sumter, South Carolina
Produced by Urban Theater of Sumter 2004
“Three large canvases (blue, yellow and green) one bench and a small table displaying several wine glasses set the stage for “Ugly Art,” written by last year’s South Carolina playwright’s winner Terry Roueche… The play itself is sophisticated dialogue, evoking laughter through seven vignettes that explore a variety of topics – marriage, control, snobbery, fidelity and artistic talk…
