Souper Bowl

Super Bowl Sunday is coming, and one determined wife is on a mission—groceries, football fans, and all. What starts as a simple shopping trip turns into a rapid-fire monologue packed with football metaphors, marital humor, and one very famous pot of soup.

Souper Bowl is lighthearted, clever, and delightfully groan-worthy. It’s the kind of comedy that sneaks up on you—equal parts charm and chuckles—with a character audiences instantly recognize. Perfect for Super Bowl weekend, fellowship events, or anytime you need a short laugh that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Sample of script:

Actor comes on stage, walks around then suddenly sees the audience

Wow!
Never noticed you guys there.
Heading out shopping here, gotta pick up a few things for Sunday.

(looks into audience, frowns)

Sunday. . . .
Football game . . .

(looks into audience, frowns)

The Super Bowl.
The . . . Super . . . . . Bowl . . .
My guess is you aren’t a real big football fan, are you?
It shows.
Well, fact is, I’m not a super huge football fan . . .
I like my four down football, don’t you ever think otherwise.
Don’t give me none of that arena football thingie!
Football oughta be played out in the elements, risking frostbite, hail, hurricane and heatstroke, the way the good Lord meant it to be played!

Me, I watch all the games, sometimes go to the park to watch the (name of favorite team) play.
But not what you would call a football nut, really. . .

Now you take my hubby . .
Sometimes wish someone would take him, during football season. . .
I am joking! . . It is a joke!

It’s not like I would for real give Flash up to anyone.

(pauses, thinks, frowns)

Well, maybe if the deal was, I mean, like, really good. . .

(pauses, thinks)

Nah, . . nope, not gonna give up on old Flash.
Besides, Flash he’s not like gonna start a bidding war or anything for hisself!
Not as if there’s a lineup for to take old Flash away from me!

Old Flash, he always says I was his fair catch.
Fair catch . . .?
More like illegal substitution, ask me!
