BONZO'S COMPLETE BOOK OF SKITS by BARRY DECHANT
This book contains some of the skits/gags that originally appeared in DeChant's first book DON'T FORGET THE BLOW-OFF! They are presented here because the original book is no longer in print, and several requests have been made for that material.
This book is divided by number of clowns needed for the skits. There are gags for use by a single clown and some where an unlimited number of clowns may be involved. The only limits you will have are the ones you place on yourself. Read the skits/gags, discuss them with friends, make modifications for your specific needs, rehearse them a lot, and have fun entertaining all of your audiences.
