Get a few friends together and do a skit. You could even dip into the obligatory set of Summer camp skits just for the heck of it - like the "Coyote sittin' on a cactus, too tired to move" one. Somebody you know has got to remember that one.

I Googled it and came up with nothing, so I'm going to attempt to explain the skit myself (eek).

5 or so people sitting on the ground against a log, sleeping for the most part. A (person playing a) coyote howling in the background. In succession, each person asks the one next to them to go find out what that noise is, because they are "just too tired to move". The last person gets up and investigates and then comes back and says "It's just a Coyote sittin' on a cactus, too tired to move". Everyone has to talk like a hillbilly and you'll want to add some details to the dialog and action.

You'll either get tremendous laughter or a lot of groans. :) You may need to wait until later to be sure everyone in the audience is sufficiently drunk.

What about a comedic monologue?
