I'm looking for suggestions for radio comedies. Preferably witty comedy, rather than farce. Small casts are preferable but large casts will work if doubling of roles is possible - and it usually is in radio, isn't it?

Thanks for your help everyone!

Do an online search for old time radio scripts. I would suggest: Fibber McGee and Molly, Duffy's Tavern, Father Knows Best, Our Miss Brooks. The scripts for these shows are our there and usually in public domain. Our theatre is planning it's second annual old time radio show. Last year's was so much fun and recieved so well we had to do it again. The director has chosen a drama, western, comedy and main production format.
