In my opinion. about 10% is laugh out loud funny. 30% just plain funny. 40% humourous. and the remaining 20% is so-so. I was looking for language/character driven humour for older folks and found some great examples in this book. Originally bought as an e-book for Kobo. but could not print any scenes as the copy/print option was prohibited for this book. Books which includes theatrical pieces. (i.e.. plays. scenes. monologues) should be printable off an e-book or off an Adobe program on the computer. I believe this restriction on e-book versions has kept me from ordering more plays. monologues or scene books on Kobo.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fairly good collection -- varying qualityBy 4n6coachI bought this to find selections for high school forensics competitions. Like many similar collections. the quality of each selection varies. The real gem in this collection is "Bar Mitzvah Boy." Its one of the cutest duo scenes and has some depth. For High School. the roles for males are stronger in this collection.. If youre doing college forensics. theres some good stuff here for both sexes. To cut many of the scenes to make it appropriate for high school. it would often take the life out of the selection.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
