Toupee Swap at the Carnival Tent — VERSION 2
WARNING!!!
If you don’t have a sense of humor… this is not for you.
You know who you are — the kind of person who needs a scheduled appointment to laugh.
Because as we all know:
“LAUGHTER IS GOOD FOR YOU!”
And honestly, in long, stressful times like these, we could all use a little more of it.
So sit back and enjoy…

THE HOST
Alright folks — anyone here who thinks they can sing… or at least thinks they can… get up on this stage!
(Silence. Somewhere, a glass clinks awkwardly.)
BIGGI
ERNST… I hear you every morning in the shower. The neighbors are about to start selling tickets.
ALEX-ANDREAS
Yeah, and last time at the bar they almost kicked you out… from too much excitement.
ERNST
Ha. Very funny. True artists are never appreciated.
I’ll do it — but only if you sing with me, Biggi.
BIGGI
Deal. But only if you wear your “premium Sunday toupee.”
ERNST
Naturally. For the art.
(They head to the stage. Ernst hurriedly throws on his toupee — backwards.)
🎤 They start singing.
Two notes in — the crowd bursts out laughing.
ERNST
(whispering)
They’re loving it.
BIGGI
(trying to hold it together… looks at him… loses it… starts giggling)
GUY FROM THE CROWD
(rushes the stage)
OH MY GOD! That toupee! That’s not hair — that’s a lifestyle!
Trade?!
(Before Ernst can react — swap happens instantly.)
ERNST
HEY! That’s my official performance hair!
GUY
(running off)
Relax — it’s not theft. It’s an upgrade!
ANOTHER GUY
Hold up! I wanna trade too! I’ve got “Limited Edition Half-Bald”!
💥 And just like that — total chaos:
Guys comparing toupees like iPhones
“I’ve got more volume!” — “Yeah, but mine survives a hurricane!”
Two dudes sprinting in circles:
“GIVE ME BACK MY HAIR!!!”
ERNST & FIRST GUY
(standing there, completely wiped out)
GUY
Man… I’m done…
ERNST
Same… honestly… it kinda looks better on you.
GUY
Yeah… yours too.
(They nod. A weirdly emotional moment.)
💥 Behind them: absolute insanity:
“I’ll trade you mine AND five bucks!”
“That’s MY hairline, you maniac!”
One guy runs through shirtless:
“THIS WAS PART OF THE DEAL!!!”
BIGGI
(turns to the crowd, completely deadpan)
And that, kids… is why we use extra-strength glue.
