Hey everyone. I'm not usually someone who needs help finding sheet music, but I'm sort of in a rut right now trying to find some Comedic Baritone pieces. I searched for this and nothing came up. I think there was a thread about 'uptempo baritone' - and I've looked at a few of those suggestions, but still no luck.

So if you have one off the top of your head, just give a suggestion and I'd greatly appreciate it!

Indeed, that would be funny.

Two songs from Kiss Me Kate come to mind: Where is the Life that Late I Led, and I've Come to Wive it Wealthily in Padua. Or "Bring Me My Bride" from Forum.

"What a Waste" from Wonderful Town would probably work as a solo. "Johnny One-Note" works just as well for a man as well as a woman. Porter's "The Tale of the Oyster" is another song that can work for a man. If that's you in the photo, you're probably too young for "Now" from A Little Night Music, which might not work too well out of context anyway. If you're not necessarily looking to show off your legit voice, patter songs like "Pretty Little Picture" or Porter's "Let's Not Talk About Love" might work.

That's comedic?

"Don't Marry Me" from Flower Drum Song - uptempo & funny
"Sara Lee" - showy/vaudvillish/clever (Kander & Ebb)
"I'm Calm" - from A Funny Thing...
"Coffee In A Cardboard Cup" - 70 Girls 70
The Leprechan's song from Finian's Rainbow about loving the girl you're with (sorry can't remember name).
"My Unfortunate Erection" 25th Annual... (might be a little high)

I knew a guy who did "I Feel Pretty" (he was straight and attractive) and that seemed to work for him.

The lepechraun's song is "When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love."

Another possibility is "Exhibit A" from Saturday Night.

If you've got a pretty good falsetto, "You Can Get Away With Anything" from the Woman in White is an excellent comedic baritone number.
