FSW: Party Planners
Allow me to preface this sketch with a preemptive “meh”. High concept, but it really goes nowhere. Not without a multi-million dollar budget to make it all happen, at least. Hmm… Party Planners(A large number of people fill a cavernous hall, dressed formally. The lights go down, and crossing, moving spots cut through the darkness.…

Friday Night Sketch War: Round Ten
Oh, the humanity! Three score and three days ago Michael and I brought forth on this internet a new challenge, conceived in Comedy, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created funny. Now we are engaged in a great comic war, testing whether that challenge, or any challenge, so conceived and so dedicated,…

FSW: Fantasy Dream Edition
It’s time for another round of Friday Sketch War.Richard was first out of the gate today, with a cautionary tale about television doctors.Nothing from Dave yet, but if it’s anything like last week, he’ll toss something out that will blow us all away.

FSW: Five for Health: Homemade Drugs
This one’s a bit different. Most of you reading this should (hopefully) note a passing similarity to a certain television doctor and insane performer.

Friday Night Sketch War: Round Nine
We’ve got an interesting battle this week. Back from the brink of doom (probably after making a Mephistophelian deal) Michael is firing on all cylinders.

FSW: Barista Blues
Barista Blues(Meg and Dex stand behind the counter of an upscale coffee house. He: late 20s, detached and jaded hipster. She: 18, fresh-faced, straight from the farmland. Dex is showing Meg how the brewing equipment works.) MEGIt’s not a lot different from the one back at the Starbucks in Grover’s Corners. I should be able…

Friday Night Sketch War: Round Eight
I’d been holding off on reporting the results of this week’s battle in hopes that Michael would make it out of the M*A*S*H unit, where he was playing grab ass with Hot Lips Houlihan, in time to post. He’s been under the weather this week, and in Chicago, there’s been a LOT of weather this…

FSW: Someone New Enters the Battle!
Wow. Someone (not the two people I was actually targeting, but someone) felt called out this week and decided to send in a sketch. It’s her first shot at sketch comedy, but I thought it was pretty decent. She’s homepageless at the moment, so I’m going to paste it below. Everyone, please give a warm…
