Once upon a time, in an enchanted jungle far far away, there lived a mystical group of animals. In this group of wild animals there lived Adam the Ant-Eater, Larry the Lion, Gerry the Giraffe, Terry the Tiger.... Banquisha the Bird... Seneca the Snake... and a bunch of other animals that you can find in the cheap zoos near you. But the cutest of all the animals was Koby the Koala. He was loved by everybody. He gave the best hugs, told the best jokes and kept everybody in a good mood.
Now since this was quite a long time ago, these animals had to hunt for food themselves. However what people nowadays haven't figured out was that every single of these animals loved eating the Dodo, even cute Mr Ron the Rabbit and Holly the Hamster. They would have roasted Dodo, mashed Dodo, Yorkshire Dodo, baked Dodo, boiled Dodo, all downed with a glass of white Dodo.
Unfortunately, one day, actually maybe fortunately, because you know, you have to look at both sides, the Dodo dissappeared. Now all the animals were devasted! Shops like Dodo King, Dodonalds, KFD, all shut down and it was absolute mayhem everywhere. Some say it even started the French Revolution but I dont know. I'm just the story teller. It was such a crisis that everyone decided to do something about it.
So one day, all of the animals came together and made the following deal: Each will tell a joke, and if everyone doesn't laugh at it then they would kill the joke teller. (Recent studies have shown that this was maybe the first reported act of cannibalism but I dont know because recent studies have also shown that if I say "recent studies have shown" your more like to believe me.
So anyway, cute little Koby the Koala went first. Koby told this great joke about this dyslexic animal that walked into a bra. Hold on I'll give you moment to realise the joke. No? No? Okay. Anyways all the animals were laughing hysterically, rolling on the floor and slapping their knees (if they had knees). All that is except for the Harry the Hippopotamus who stood there with a face blank as a page if it had been invented back then.
So, what could they do? Rules were rules and the Hippo did not laugh. They had to kill Koby. They cried and cried as they took turns to bite into poor Koby and dig into his belly and guts and after promptly doing so, they gave the next turn to Terry the Tiger.
Terry told a really dumb joke, that was not funny at all. All of the animals just sat there and stared, when suddenly the Hippo started laughing a tremendous laugh. "Yio Yio Yio.." he cried with laughter. The animals looked at him with disgrace. So they asked Harry the Hippopotamus: "Why are you laughing? The Joke wasn't funny."
To which the Hippo replied: "Didn't you get the Koala's Joke?"
This was another performance of mine where i had to tell a short story about animals and make it as creative as possible but the audience had to be adults.
