To
polish your comedy acting skills for contests, a scene in a
school play, speech events or an audition, find a humorous duet acting
script
below from the Internet, but there is also a tip where you can
find these scripts elsewhere.
The bottom line for performing
humorous duet acting scripts is to sharpen your craft as an
actor. You may discover that you have the knack for
entertaining your audience through comedy.
 "Step
One: Go to the library or bookstore and pick up
some scene books with scenes from real, published plays.
Scan through them and find some scenes that you really like.
It doesn’t matter if the age range or characters are exactly
what you’re looking for, just keep your eye out for a sense
of humor and writing style that you are attracted to.
Make note of the playwrights of those scenes you like."
"Step
Two: This is the real secret to finding unique
acting scenes. Get your hands on as many plays by
those playwrights as you can. Since you already know
that you relate to his style and humor, you should be able to
find a lesser-known duet acting scene in one of his other
plays."
