Dewey’s Gospel Clown Skits / No 1 by Ralph G. Dewey
Paperback (September 1986)
On the one hand, there’s not a lot to this book — it’s short (30 pages), small (5.5″ x 8.5″), composed of typewritten pages with some illustrations. On the other hand, there’s a lot to this book. It crams much information and helpful tips into those thirty pages. The first 7 pages are talking in general about clowning in general, & gospel clowning in particular. The remainder of the book is a collection of skits, suitable for either 1 clown or for a small clown troupe. The skits include:
1 Clown Skits
Steal No More, Hop to Heaven, I’m Just Trying to be Good, Grow, Laundry Lesson
Multiple-Clown Skits
Cheap-Skates (one of my favorites, incidentally), X-Ray Machine, Outcast, Palm Reader, Wash Away My Sins It also includes descriptions of simple-to-make clown props, including Pepsi Light (a soda can that ‘lights’ with a candle on top), the X-Ray machine, ‘angel’ wings made out of balloons, and several other balloon creations.
For $4.50 (at the time of writing this review), it’s a very good bargain. I rate it 4 clowns out of 5: 
Editorial Review:
Contains an assortment of both single and multiple skits. Each skit conveys a strong Christian message. Plenty of fresh, fun, meaningful, and workable ideas for your clown ministry. Order it on-line from Amazon.com .
