the carnival rolls on all the same.

This is another circus holiday workshop, one I did with El Kirschbaum. You may note similarities between this one and the other circus workshop script Clown Town. The main difference between that one and this one is the Nigglesnush. What is a Nigglesnush? I don't think anyone knows, except for the girl that decided she would be a Nigglesnoosh. Also this one is named after a Mikelangelo & The Black Sea Gentlemen song. Actually, now that I look at it, this one is completely different to the last one. For whatever reason when I was writing for thirteen 7 - 9 year olds I decided it would be an awesome idea to write a ten minute script with about forty characters in it. What an idiot, Hadley.


Onwards, after the cut!


the carnival rolls on all the same

Narrator One: Welcome to Canberra, where everyone is serious!

Pause.

Wife siddles up to the soup and eats it.

Public Servant runs in.

Public Servant: I really need to use the toilet!

They run out, scream and run back in. Talking Toilet comes in.

Public Servant: Who are you?

Talking Toilet: I am your toilet!

Talking Toilet: Some weird clownobats blew magic fog on me, and turned me into a person.

Public Servant: That is so inconvenient!

Talking Toilet: I shouldn’t be!

Princess: Bring me tea.

Clownobats blow fog on the Princess.

Princess: Now bring me… bring me… a fly!

Servant: YES

Princess eats a fly, and slowly starts turning into a toad.

Princess: I think I’m turning into a toad!

Servant: And I am turning into… a… nigglesnush!

Clownobats pop back up.

Clownobat One: A what?

Clownobat Two: She’s supposed to be a toad!

Clownobat Three: What’s a Nigglesnush?

They do a juggling routine.

Evil Scientist: I must have the Nigglesnush to experiment on! Evilly!

Ringmaster: Isn’t this supposed to be about me turning everyone evil?

All: Shh!

Evil Scientist hops on the phone.

Evil Scientist: Hello, I wish to hire the greatest Nigglesnush Catcher in the entire world!

Nigglesnush Catcher: That’s me! I am the greatest Nigglesnush Catcher that has ever caught a Nigglesnush.

Evil Scientist: Great!

Nigglesnush Catcher: I have set a trap, with a Nigglesnush’s favourite food!

Evil Scientist: What is a Nigglesnushes favourite food?

Nigglesnush Catcher: I don’t know!

They do their pyramid.

Ringmaster: Now I have the nigglesnush my plan is almost complete!

The ninja bunnies all run in.

Bunny Leader: We are here to defeat you!

Bunny Assistant Manager: Yeah!

Bunny: Yeah!

Bunny Leader: Just like we defeated you in Mars, and in the Wild West!

Bunny Assistant Manager: Yeah!

Bunny: When were we on Mars?

Ringmaster: You will never defeat me! I will not stop until everyone in this boring town have been turned into brooms and bowls of soup and other stuff!

Bunny Leader: These boring people deserve to be boring! We challenge you to a skip off!

Ringmaster: My secret weakness!

Evil Scientist: Don’t worry, we can use the nigglesnush to defeat them!

Nigglesnush: Nigglesnush?

Evil Scientist: Okay, maybe not.

They have a skip off. The Ninja Bunny Leader does fine, the Ringmaster does not.

Ringmaster: I’m melting! Meltingggggg!

Evil Scientist: Clownobats! Distract them while I escape! Clownobats? Clownobats? Hello?

Clownobats: Nigglesnush.

Narrator Four: And everything returned to normal! Sort of…

Everyone goes back to being boring public servants, and slowly build a big pyramid.

The end!
