Wedding Flower – skit about a homophone misunderstanding

WEDDING FLOWER – SKIT ABOUT A HOMOPHONE MISUNDERSTANDING

It’s always important to get your homophones correct. What’s a homophone? Well – it’s two words with completely different meanings (and sometimes spellings) that SOUND the same.  Now in the wedding business, that kind of thing could be very important. As one unfortunate bride is about to find out. Instead of $10000 of flowers she receives $10000 of FLOUR! All dyed pink, as requested. In fact, she’s so upset, she wants to cancel the wedding. Because no girl wants to walk down the aisle simply covered in pink flour in this skit about a homophone misunderstanding!!!!

WHEN SANTA GOT CAUGHT – SKIT FOR THE HOLIDAYS

When Santa is caught red-handed breaking into someone’s house, the police are called and he is arrested. Poor Santa! His life is going down the toilet. He has developed a gluten intolerance, so all the cookies left out for him can’t be touched, leaving him starving. Even his own wife, the lovely Mrs Claus wants to send him down the river. So much so, that Santa decides once and for all to give up the red suit. Perhaps to swap it for an orange one in this skit for the holidays….

X’s and O’s – FIVE MINUTE COMEDY SKETCH FOR SENIORS

X’s and O’s is a five minute comedy sketch for an older couple set on their anniversary. They’re both slightly grumpy, as older people can be when they have outgrown the need for tact. The concept of the play is one in which the only dialogue spoken is the opposite of of what the other just said. The name X’s & O’s come from thinking how, as in Tic-Tac-Toe they’re opposites, but also Kisses & Hugs.

START WRECK – SKIT ON STAR TREK

In this short skit on Star Trek, the starship boldly goes (again) where no man (make that WOMAN) has gone before. With Snotty beating up the captain and a member of the crew inexplicably dying of something weird every episode, it’s not surprising that the ship finally crash lands in a somewhat familiar place in this two to three minute short skit.

ONE FINE DAY IN THE OPERATING ROOM – SHORT MEDICAL SKIT

In this short medical skit, set in the operating room, a team of incompetent medical staff including a surgeon, nurse and anesthesiologist and of course the unfortunate patient are being filmed for a brand new live television show, “Operation TV. ” Although viewers are warned that the show may be a bit ‘too intense’ for some people, it seems that operation TV is a success because no one likes watching a doc mess up more than a live TV audience.
