You know that moment when you realize none of the ten-minute plays in existence are actually funny?
Yeah. That’s where this all began.
I scoured collections, bought anthologies, and raided the sacred archives of “Saved Duos That Might Work,” only to find that everything was either painfully serious or aggressively quirky in the wrong direction. So I did what any over-caffeinated parent with a background in mental health and chaos management would do—
I wrote my own.
The scripts came first—built for performance, rhythm, and the glorious absurdity of two people trying to hold it together on stage. The stories followed later, mostly because I thought, well, if they’re going to exist, they might as well have lore.
Each piece can stand alone as a short, funny story…
…but if you strip it back to just the dialogue between characters, you get a ready-to-perform duo script that’s equal parts deranged and delightful. Designed for speech competitions, drama clubs, and anyone who’s ever wished their theater kid came with a manual and a mop.
These scripts aren’t about perfection—they’re about timing, chaos, and laughter loud enough to chase off stage fright demons.
