Historical Wit for Comedy Script
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I already have the premise, title, and a short sample for “The Snorequake: Rise of the MO.” Three ancient clans drift off to sleep, their escalating snores rocking the house and baffling the neighbours. What I need now is a polished, witty script that carries this idea through to a satisfying comedic payoff.
The tone must stay clever rather than slapstick, and I want the humour laced with clear nods to real historical events—think the walls shaking “like Jericho,” or an outraged neighbour comparing the rumble to “Vesuvius waking up for round two.” Feel free to pick whichever moments in history serve the punchlines best, as long as each reference lands naturally in the dialogue.
Deliverables
• A 2–3-page screenplay in standard format (Courier 12, scene headings, dialogue, SFX cues).
• At least three smart, recognisable historical references seamlessly woven into the jokes.
• Clear stage directions and sound cues so performers know exactly when roofs creak, nails pop, and that mysterious “MO…” reverberates.
Once complete, send the script as an editable DOCX or Final Draft file plus a clean PDF. If you can keep the pacing tight, the wordplay sharp, and the history lessons hilarious, we’re in business.
