Question: I need some ideas for a funny skit!.!?
I want to write a funny skit that will make the whole 8th grade at my school laugh!. I don't want it to be a skit with cheesy humor, i want people to laugh at real humor they will never forget!. Another idea is to occasionally make the audience think, "WOW!" also, you should know that when it is performed, we won't have as many props!. We are able to make ok costumes and we can use chairs and tables!. Please! I need a ton of help and ideas!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Okay here is a tip that has worked for me before so try this one

Get everyone who is going to be involved in the skit together!.

Have each one of them think of someone they know with a weird trait
(i!.e!. friends, enemies, co-workers family) you don't have to make fun of people for example maybe your dad always yells at you or getts angry you can use that as a trait!. Or amybe a teacher alwys repeats a word over and over again

Have each person develop the character with that trait, making sure that they stay true to the character!.

Put that characer in a normal situation and let the fun begin

Let me know what you come up with
