The Cook Skit

This skit requires a little preparation and a few easily obtainable materials which can be interchanged or adapted. You'll need a table covered with a table cloth, under which a bowl filled with candy is hidden from the audience. An identical empty bowl stands on the table alongside an assortment of liquids, such as ketchup, water, milk, mustard, oil and vinegar. You'll also need flour, eggs, sugar, butter and a wooden spoon to mix it together. The cook announces he will make a cake and combines the ingredients in the bowl, also adding the unconventional ingredients. The cook puts bowl under the table into the 'oven' for a few seconds and takes the bowl filled with candy out instead. The cook asks the audience if they'd like to try some and then hurls the candy into the audience.

The toothbrush skit involves a number of people sleeping on the ground, preferably on top of each other snoring and tossing in their sleep. One person wakes up walks across to where a toothbrush lies, brushes their teeth with some toothpaste and spits into a glass of water. He then yells at the another person asleep on the ground to wake up or they'll be late for whatever reason, and lies back down to sleep some more. The next person also brushes their teeth and spits into the glass of water. This continues until the last person wakes up, says that they need to take their medication and drinks the whole glass of water.
