I'm not sure on the first, seeing as I don't live anywhere near you but the second I can help with!. A great idea is a nice and simple improvisation act!. Interact with your audience and ask them for a setting, an object and something that will be happening!. Then mix them all together and it is often a great scene!.

If improvisation isn't your thing then just stand-up, if you pick a topic now, start writing as much material as you can and sort it out so that you bring each new joke in casually and the punchline isn't going to be too obvious!.

Some valid points in both 1 and 2 answers!.

First of all, 5 minutes can seem an eternity, and would take a huge amount of material to work with, edit, be spontaneous about, or memorize!.

I'd pass on the audience interaction!. To me, that may work with stand up, but isn't strictly original material, and stand up is not strictly a skit!.

With no offense to you or others, I wonder why so many come here saying they "Want to" but have no idea of the "WHAT", to do!?

Skit,,, This sounds like a Monologue situation, and without knowing at all the context of "no shame" I'm thinking two different things!. Either this is designed to be like an open mic night for amateurs, who need not fear failing, or it means a situation akin to DEF Comedy Jam!?!?!?

I'd also want to find out what they define as illegal!. Certainly ORIGINAL is clear enough!.

Backing up however, it may largely depend on what the program is all about, in a general sense, what acts/things are usually included, what type of audience usually attends,etc!.
