COMEDYGRAMS

Short comedy scripts, written specially
for an occasion like a birthday or farewell & delivered
by a comedian, dressed as a crazy costumed character.

Comedygrams, Telegrams, Novelty Messages, Pranks, Birthdays.

Thankyou for inquiring about Comedygrams. A Comedygram is a budget priced short comedy routine, a sophisticated Telegram or Novelty Message. Comedygrams are extremely popular for birthdays and other special occasions ~ hen's nights, retirements, mother's day, father's day, anniversaries, farewells, etc... They are usually performed at restaurants, offices, private homes or function centres.

We fax or email you a Questionnaire sheet, which you fax or email back to us. We use the information you provide as a basis to write the script, which is customised towards the particular person, situation or event. It generally takes three to five hours to write the comedy script, which is then delivered in the form of a short witty speech, half way between standup and a short after dinner speech, by a professional comedian, dressed as a character of your choice. The recipient receives a copy of the script, and a short telegram wishing her / him a happy birthday (or other occasion), with best wishes / or love from the person who booked the act.

You can specify the preferred tone of the script - from outrageous to sedate. Sometimes clients want to send a person up, other times to flatter, mildly embarrass, embarrass, or just generally humour. You can request scripts to be very tasteful, risque, contain sexual innuendo, be slightly suggestive, or not at all risque.
