Question:I have a drama performance in school and we have to think of a mime skit. An original one, but turns out to become extraordinary or hilarious. Such as a doctor trying to pull a teeth out but it doesnt budge, he uses rockets, blasters, hammers but it still doesnt come out. But when the doctor gets really mad and gets out of the room, the teeth falls out naturally. NEED HELP!!!! ( I read the doctor thing from a book) I need help for because i need a good skit to perform but i dont have an idea...need help

erm...yeh the docters one is a good idea
what about tug-of-war like imagining the rope,you could work on that quite well
also try having one person in the middle of the room with a few other people around them and one person behind them and make it a "shadow" act where the person in the middle of the room "shadows" another person with simple every day things like brushing hair/eating/working and make it so one person see's the "shadow" is doing what the other person is but when no ones looking is doing something else...
try a landing on the moon sketch,you could f.e find aliens and show the look of amazement...
it usually makes people laugh
good luck
hope this helps
