Skippy is a comic cut from the old school style of comedy: schticky, offensive and hilarious. He dresses like a classic Catskill comedian complete with fedora, checkered sports coat, big glasses and a cigar…of course. Skippy has no problem speaking his mind both on and offstage. He will tell you that you’re a prick and not bat an eye. He is not a racist or anything like that, but because he’s from the “old days”, he doesn’t quite understand all the political correctness of today.
Skippy’s material has two different styles:
The first style is classic story telling, mainly old road stories about his experiences as a comedian. But since he is tours outer space, all of the stories take place on another planet, or with aliens, but the subject matter is still relatable. For example, he might tell a story about getting together with a female after the show, this is something that comics do all the time and something that everyone can relate too. But where it differs in Skippy’s story is that the female might have tentacles, fins and five vaginas. Another thing that makes Skippy unique are his trademark 'buttons' that he says after his jokes. Some old time comics might say "Bada-Bing!" or have someone play a "rim shot" on the drums. Skippy takes it to the next level of creativity...and weirdness ...by shouting out old 1980's cartoon series. "GI Joe!", “Transformers!", "Strawberry Shortcake".
The second style of comedy in Skippy’s act are his very quick stories of sexual escapades he’s had with random celebrities here on Earth. He always starts out with the year of the encounter and it ends with him innocently saying, “We laughed…” For example: "1975, I’m going down on Nell Carter, and let me tell you something, her p___y stank. It was like an old bucket of tar. It was the kind of smell where you could breathe through your mouth and still smell it. After about 2 minutes, I look up at her and I say, 'Nell, gimme a break!' The rest is history. We laughed..."
So to sum up, Skippy Greene is a lovable, dirty old man from the bygone days of comedy who’s toured outer space and has had sex with everyone from Bonnie Franklin to Dom DeLuise. With an act like that, how could you go wrong?
