Friday Night Sketch War: Funeral Edition
Last week’s reunion special got me a bit melancholy, thinking about the ultimate reunion. When all your friends and family (or, in my case, a county official and anonymous creamatorium worker) get together to celebrate who you were and how you lived. Brings a tear to my eye. A tear, because a cinder from your…

The Lemon-Scented Passing of Jack Kaufmann
(A funeral. The casket is upstage center, and black-clad MOURNERS are milling around. TIMMY, a boy of five, is downstage, shyly standing next to his mother, MARJORIE. EDWARD, holding a notepad, is kneeling and talking to TIMMY.) EDDIE (to TIMMY)A noun? It’s like a person, place or thing. MARJORIE (to TIMMY)What’s something you saw today,…

FSW: Putting the fun in Funeral
Ahhh Friday, and the hills are alive with the sound of sketches! I’m a little tardy posting today – I’ve been off work this week, so I’ve been slacking on everything! The topic this week was funerals, and I have to admit, for the first half of the week, I was really stuck – all…

FSW: Funeral Edition
“Funeral” was Richard’s theme and he’s already up and running with a clever sketch.Nothing from Ken yet, so we’ll have to wait and see what he comes up with.Dave still has that just washed glow so I’m not sure if he’s joining us this week or not.As for next week’s theme, since it’s a word…

FSW: Death of a Henchmen
So last week, TheWife suggested I write my sketch on gatherings about a funeral. I already had an idea in mind which I liked, so I decided against it. But when it came time to pick this week’s topic, I was happy to burden the other guys with funerals! This way, we ALL get to…

FSW: Gathering Edition
Another Friday, another sketch. Let the games begin. Richard is up and ready with a sketch that might be my favorite to date. I’m sure it has nothing to do with my own tendencies to write about high school crushes and the voices that guide us.Ken has a tale of witches that think green. Dave…

FSW: The Reunion
Newest warrior Ken got theme honors this week and selected gatherings. I’ve been only moderately happy with my entries of late, so I reached back several months to a sketch I’m still quite proud of for inspiration. This entry would benefit greatly from a second draft and a little polish, but I’m posting this early…

FSW: Green Witches
Well….here’s my second salvo in the fabulous Friday Sketch Wars. This time, I decided to get medieval on someone’s ass! (might have something to do with the fact I’m in an Improvised Shakespeare show Friday night, and an improviosed Tarantino show Saturday night). Anyway….our theme this week was “Gatherings” – I’ll update links as soon…

Friday Night Sketch War: Back to School Edition
We’ve been ambushed! Michael gave us this week’s theme and we set about sharpening our bayonets and targeting our rockets and seducing our Rockettes. Before either of us (or David, still bone-weary from last week’s beatdown) could get in a shot, our newest and boldest battler launched a salvo! David might still throw a last-minute…

Friday Sketch War – Back to School Edition
Wow. A week’s gone by. I guess you gotta be careful when you start looking for change. Cause then things change.Anyhow, it’s Friday. I’m very exicted to announce we have a new battler in our midst. Ken has been spying on us from San Francisco and decided to join the fight this week. Be sure…
