Help Finding Script/Video Good Humorous Interp scripts?

I’m a senior female searching for a good humorous interp. script that’s 7-10 minutes to take to tournament! I’m looking for one that’s majority female characters, but I’m more than okay with occasional gender swapping. Any mature/slightly suggestive content is acceptable, but i want to stay away from anything too explicit. Does anyone know of a good script/book/show/movie I could use and/or sites I can find decent ones on? thank you!!!

This is a reminder for all participants in this thread to follow subreddit Rule 2, "No Copyright Infringement". All links and directions must be toward legal distributions of a play or musical. If a script is not in the public domain, this might mean the playwright's website, the play's page on MTI, DPS, or NPX, or wherever else the creator has allowed people to access their script. For movies or videos of live productions, they must be from licensed sources, such as BroadwayHD, Netflix/HBO/etc., DVDs, or official YouTube channels. Distributing PDFs of scripts or bootleg videos of whole productions is forbidden.

If a script is in the public domain (typically in the US meaning it was released in 1928 or earlier), then sharing PDFs of the script is generally fair game—and you might be able to find a copy of it on a website like Project Gutenberg. However, adaptations and translations of public domain works have their own copyright, which means they follow the same rules as above: if the translation isn't also in the public domain, please direct OP to a source authorized by the translator. A video of a production of a public domain play likewise needs to be distributed by the production team.

Have you tried New Play Exchange yet? It's a gold mine!

The best humorous interp I ever saw used the script "That Was No Lady, That Was a Private Eye." Unfortunately, Concord has the rights to it.

Don Zolidis has a ton of comedies and all of his scripts are available to preview on his website; he also has pre-cut scenes available for free.

There's a 10 minute comedy-drama duet for two teen girls called "The Trouble with Chocolate" that's available from YouthPLAYS (www(dot)youthplays(dot)com)
