I’m feeling a little better today, but I’m still feeling a tad bit slow mentally. Last night I went to rehersal for this play I’m supposed to direct for my little church congregation (no, it’s not a churchy thing – it’s mostly League of Gentlemen and Monty Python sketches, with some Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Laurie thrown in. And then a Marilyn Monroe musical number performed by me. Geeze, this is sounding blasphemous, hehe.) Anyway, so I went to rehersal, and this girl who’s in the Rowan Atkinson sketch asked me a question. I didn’t hear it the first time, so I said “Pardon?” She said it again, and I still couldn’t hear it. She said it perfectly clear, it was all in my head. Weirdness. I’m still not sure what she asked.

I need one more comedy sketch for the play thing. I’m thinking of doing a Mr. Bean sketch where he falls asleep during church. I think it’d be hilarious. We’ve certainly got the right guy for it. He doesn’t look at all like Mr. Bean, which is very much in his favor, but he’s tall so he’d do the physical comedy well. Now, if you’re thinking that’s too much Rowan Atkinson, no worries, the other Atkinson sketch has nothing to do with Mr. Bean. It’s more like Blackadder. It’s a sketch he and Hugh Laurie did at an AIDS benefit thing. It’s a meeting between William Shakespeare and his agent. Very funny stuff, especially considering we have a family in the ward who does Shakespeare stuff quite often. They’re performing it, so it should be quite hilarious. They’ve got the emotions down pat. Mind, I’d love to do something ala Are You Being Served? but I doubt we could find something to do in sketch format. Too bad. In this past week I’ve become rather addicted to that show. I used to hate it when my brothers would watch it constantly, but now I’m actually old enough to get the humor.

Or humour, since it’s British. 🙂

Abbott & Costello stuff might be good too. I suppose I’ll have to do some more research…
