From the Publisher
The script is designed for a television comedy special event. It is also suitable for a stage play. A series of short skits knitted together to give families a run for their money in laughs. The comedy is quite outrageous as the themes revolve around the concept of Murphy's Law. Low budget. Script may be available for production. Note: Purchasing this script does not authorize production rights. Contact publisher for these rights before producing on TV, film or live performance. Address is on the screenplay cover page.

From the Author
Writing this TV stage play special was certainly fun. A tad of Twilight Zone twists in each sketch reinforces expectation and punch to the comedy. What is not supposed to be happening does occur, and what people should not do, they do. These situations are naturally comedic but I have taken these situations over the edge toward pure insanity to instill a deeper laughing experience for the audience.

Customer Reviews

I want my money back
The back cover has blurbs like "Incredibly funny' and "powerful comedy" yet none of these quotes are credited to anyone. I suspect they come from the author. The skits are sexist and homophobic, but I could overlook that if they were funny. They're not. Laughs? I couldn't muster a smile. The book is full of misspellings and grammatical errors. AT [the price] a pop, surely they could afford a proofreader. As a bonus you get an ad to order "Bible tracks". Someone should tell the author there is no such thing; I'm sure he meant Bible tracts. I wasted my money.
