Open Mic Night Sketch (IO Class Project)

INT-COMEDY CLUB-NIGHT
                    
                   CHRIS REDD
          Hello and welcome to open mic
          night at LOL Theater. I’m your MC
          tonight Chris and we have a lot of
          funny comedians who are slotted to
          perform for you. Let’s begin with
          our first comic of the
          evening....Bill Cosby? What?

Bill Cosby walks onto the stage bringing a chair with him and
once he’s on the stage he sets the chair down and sits in it.
Bill Cosby grabs the microphone as Chris Redd exits the stage.
              
                     BILL COSBY
          Jell-O pudding, chocolate cake.
          When I used to say that you all
          would go nuts. Now for some reason
          you all turned me into some
          Boogeyman. What happened?

Chris Redd walks back out and Bill Cosby is still sitting in
the chair.
 
                   CHRIS REDD
          Mr. Cosby. What are you
doing here?

                    BILL COSBY
          Well after this stupid witch hunt
          against me, no club would hire me
          anymore. So I signed up for open
          mic night. You all used to laugh
          at me! Laugh, damn it! I’m funny!

                    CHRIS REDD
          No. I mean aren’t you supposed to
          be in jail right now? You were
          found guilty of sexual assault.

                    BILL COSBY
          You know people used to pay good
          money to see me. You all should be
          happy that I would even be
          performing at this little club
          right now. Jell-O pudding,
          chocolate cake.

                    CHRIS REDD
          Just get off the stage, dude.
          Before a riot starts.

                    BILL COSBY
          Let me finish my act first.

                    CHRIS REDD
          Just get off the...

                    BILL COSBY
          Zippy Do Zippy Dee Da Do! Good
          night everybody and any of you
          ladies out there....

                    CHRIS REDD
          Get the hell off!

Bill Cosby grabs his chair and walks off the stage, Chris Redd
stands on stage.

                    CHRIS REDD
          Our next comic is...oh shit, Louis
          C.K.! What the hell?

Louis C.K. runs up onto the stage and grabs the microphone out
of Chris Redd’s hand.

                    CHRIS REDD
          Gross! You’re hands are covered in
seamen dude.

                    LOUIS C.K.
          Hello, thank you all for coming
          out tonight and...

                    CHRIS REDD
          And you’re just leaving!

                    LOUIS C.K.
          Oh come on! I just got on stage.
          Let me do one joke, man.

                    CHRIS REDD
          Louis, all your jokes were about
          jacking off. I don’t think now is
          the right time for you to do
          comedy.

                    LOUIS C.K.
          That’s not true! Let me look over
my notes.

Louis C.K. pulls out a little notebook and opens it up to look
at it.
                    LOUIS C.K.
          Oh god you’re right. Well I guess
          I’ll go with a classic. A little boy asks his father, is
          god black or white? The father
          says, both son both. The little
          boy asks his father, is god male
          or female? The father says, both
          son both. The boy then asks his
          father, is god Michael Jackson?
                    
                   CHRIS REDD
          Dude, a Michael Jackson joke. How
          disrespectful! You should be
          ashamed.
                   
                      LOUIS C.K.
          Oh, you all just ignore the fact
          Michael Jackson was an alleged
          child molester but you all won’t
          ignore of all the shit I did.
                    
                   CHRIS REDD
          Just get off the stage.
                   
                    LOUIS C.K.
          Fine, I’ll get off the stage but
          this witch hunt has to end. A lot
          of comics are struggling to get
          work.

Louis C.K. walks off the stage and Chris Redd stands center
stage holding the microphone.
                   
                     CHRIS REDD
          Alright our next comic is...TJ
          Miller! Oh hell no! You know what?
          Let’s see who the next comedian
          is...Al Franken! Uh, no he’s not
          our next comic it’s...Aziz Ansari!
          Alright, there has to be a comic
          who’s not a sexual predator.
                    
                    BILL COSBY (O.S.)
          Zippy Do! No! That drink wasn’t
          for you, TJ Miller, you dumbass.
          Oh geez, now he’s passed out on
          the floor. Oh well, take what you
          can get I guess.
                    
                   CHRIS REDD
          Sigh! Live from New York it’s
          Saturday Night!
