Can anyone help with ideas for short comedy sketches.

It is for a performance at Christmas for 14/15 years old girls and boys.

A Christmas theme would help, but not completely necessary.

Many thanks .

Sorry, should have said 'well known' sketches e.g Fork Handles or the Morecambe and Wise Breakfast sketch.

Thanks.

They are well known to us oldies but maybe not so much to parents of 14/15 year olds.

Del Boys falling through the raised bar flap was voted one of the top sketches.

Fawlty towers also a bit old----- dont mention the war

Dads Army---dont give him your name Pike

You could put together a truly cringeworthy collection of short gags in the form of a stand-up routine, using Christmas cracker jokes. People tend to groan rather than laugh but they're good to join in with: Q: 'What's yellow and dangerous?' A: 'Shark-infested... come on everybody, you know this one...' crowd yells 'Custard!'
Example - there are plenty more out there...

Thanks to both of you. The Christmas Jokes also seems a good idea.

I like the idea of a slightly shorter, Christmas version for 'Two Soups'. Always makes me laugh, but it might not be acceptable now .
