CHEEKY – ONE ACT COMEDY PLAY THAT’S NOT A PAIN IN THE BUTT

So…I am butt cheek number one. Next to butt cheek number two. Only he’s a bit of a pain in the…sorry, let me not be a total ass about this and explain what I mean. I will start by stating that even though I share DNA with number two, in my opinion we couldn’t be more different. I, for example am the cultured one, the wine connoisseur and I know my vocabulary is better. Or should I say ‘superior.’ It’s like a great divide separates the two of us.

Anyway, today may turn out to be quite an exciting day and the two of us may finally get to see the light of day again. We get the feeling he’s got a hot date. Or something else equally as fun! A one act comedy play for two male actors.

MORE PASTA – TEN MINUTE COMEDY ABOUT FAMILY AND VEGANISM

Not everyone eats as much meat as they used to nowadays. Doctors warn it makes your cholesterol high, and let’s face it, there’s a lot more pressure from the vegans than there used to be. But Mike never dreamed it would enter his home. Mike is Italian and every good Italian boy knows that whenever he needs to, he can go home to momma and she’ll cook him a meal fit for a king. Spagetti and meatballs, for instance. But when Mike goes round to visit his folks, he finds that things are just a little different from what they used to be and momma is – well let’s just say she’s embraced her new lifestyle with a never seen before fervor.

LIFE OF A SALESMAN – TEN MINUTE COMEDY FOR A CAST OF FIVE

comedy for a cast of five

Meet Donald, a nervous, stammering brand new salesman. It’s his first day on the job and all the salesmen on the floor have been given a task: To be the top seller of the day. One of the main salesmen on the floor called Hudson, takes Donald under his wing to show him the ropes. Although it’s unlikely that Donald will make nearly as many sales as himself, he tells Donald, it’s important to use his first day as a learning experience and to follow and do exactly what Hudson does in this ten minute comedy for a cast of five. Because Hudson knows he’s the best.

But will it be Donald who ends up showing Hudson a thing or two?

HELL FROZE OVER – COMEDY SCRIPT ABOUT SPORTS

What are the perfect conditions for every American sports fan’s dreams to come true? Why, a temperature drop, of course in this comedy script about sports.

One so low that OJ Simpson (almost) finally confesses, Fahrenheit so
chilly that Magic Johnson is declared HIV free and thermometers correctly reflecting the icy ‘nature’ of things, to the degree that Tom Brady comes clean about Deflate gate. But this could only be a
reality if the temperature was affected in one place specifically, ahem, hell to be exact. On this day, in this sketch comedy, hell froze over and everything in the sporting world went to shit- AKA ….
mushrooms. So, have YOU ever wondered what would happen if hell were to freeze over? Find out tonight on the Chicago Radio- err – rather from Anchors 1, 2 and 3 in the play, Hell Froze Over.

Don’t hold your breath…No actually, today, feel free to do so!
