Hi, Sati-

For the general storyline, I would have the animals holding an election. This would be very well-received for the next few months, what with our own upcoming election. Also, Americans love political humor in general. Now, for some sample rewrites:

"In Hinduism, the cow is a symbol of wealth, strength, abundance, selfless giving and a full Earthly life. Think of the cow as the Barack Obama of the animal kingdom."

"Miss Kitty Cat has just arrived back from England. How are you, Miss Kitty Cat? Oh, she is limping. She was caught up in a football riot. I told you, Miss Kitty Cat, it is best to stick to Big Ben."


Let me know what you think.


Thanks,

Barrett Brown

Hello. Thank you Barrett for your prompt response. I am attaching my current script. I am looking for a thorough overhauling of the script with a humorous spin on it, or a totally new story line/approach.

 

My target audience are adults, and I will be performing for corporate clients. The major part of my act will be showing images of celebrities and other personalities.

 

If you can kindly let me know your story line about the animals, and write one or two sentences on any  5 or 6 images out of 22, that will be great. That will help me to take a decision.

 

Considering that the script is a brief one lasting 5-6 minutes, my budget is only $100.

 

Kindly let me know in case you will be interested.

 

Best regards,

 

Sati

Howdy-

I'd like to be considered for your project. I write for National Lampoon and other outlets, and have otherwise worked in humor on and off for most of my life. I've done a little script writing, too. If you'd like to talk, let me know.

Thanks,
