About stand-up comedy 关于单口相声
One of my friend's younger brother will take part in an activity to show English stand-up comedy. He is only 10 years old, and he is a native mandarin speaker, only knows a little English. Do you have some good suggestions or material for him?
我有一个朋友的弟弟将要参加一个单口相声表演。他现在只有10岁，而且他从小在中国长大，英文并不是很好。小伙伴们有没有什么好的建议或是素材提供呢？时间不用很长，2分钟左右就可以啦~~~多谢咯！

Answer

thank you very much, Joseph! I think your answer is really helpful to me ! I am glad to be your friend in italki.^^

Answer

I guess you mean that he will have to tell some jokes in English. That's a good experience, since jokes often rely on words having the same sound, but different meanings -- as you know, this is VERY easy in putonghua :) 
Like this:  
Q: What did the dog say when he sat on sandpaper? ...  
A: Ruff !!   
If you can open this website, you'll find many others that a 10-year-old might enjoy.
