Public domain material preferred: Comedy sketches to be performed live
by two to four persons (gender ??)-- 10 to 12 minutes (or somewhat
less). No profanity, but can be moderately risque; audience = mature
men and women.

Would you be interested in books that contain comedy skits and
sketches that you can perform (royalty-free)?
