Christian Skit Scripts Fred's Bio

A Little About the Webmaster

My name is Fred Passmore, and I'm the creator of the Christian Skit Scripts site, among others. My enjoyment of skit writing inspired the site, created in order to share them with others that might wish to perform them. I hope that you are enjoying the site, and maybe knowing a little more about me might give you a tiny bit more insight into it, so here goes. 'Tis a tale not for the faint of heart... (or weak of stomach!)

"Quick, pack up before the kid gets home!"

I was born at a very early age in Macon, Georgia on October 14, 1958. Since my step-father was in construction and liked to follow the work according to the weather, we moved on the average of every four months. So as I grew up, I attended nearly 20 schools and lived in about 40 different places, mainly over the states of Georgia, Florida, and West Virginia, and Ohio. Consequently, with all the memories of all the different places, my young years seemed to stretch in my mind much longer than normal. Perhaps that is the reason I retain so much of it in my mind and heart now.

After a friend witnessed to me in high school, I accepted Christ, a turning point in my life that changed it forever, as you will see as evidenced in my career choices and creative expressions.

I met my wife Patty in West Virginia during a revival in 1979, and we married in 1981. After working at a secular job for a few years, I finally realized that radio and radio production was a major interest, so I began work at a Christian radio station in WV in 1984, the same year our daughter and only child was born, Melissa. I remained at that station, doing various things (production, promotion, announcing, etc.) until 1990. At that point I accepted a position with Coral Ridge Ministries in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, and went to work for Dr. James Kennedy, editing and engineering the national radio program "Truths That Transform."

"Prime Example"

While there long-time friend Jon Lawhon and I formed the Christian Comedy team "Prime Example," and during the ten years of the team's existence (1993 to 2003) we traveled on the weekends to over a dozen different states to perform in hundreds of concerts, and recorded two albums (still available on the Comedy CDs Page). Several of the songs showed up on the national Southern Gospel charts, (one rising into the Top 80 of the Singing News chart) and still get airplay today.

In February of 1996 I was offered a position with the Guido Evangelistic Association in Metter, GA, editing all of "The Sower," Dr. Michael Guido's radio programs, and is where I am currently employed, functioning as radio producer, website manager, official photographer, DVD engineer and occasionally filming and producing special video projects.

I also do freelance production at home; the most recent was for Phil Waldrep Ministries new radio program, "Living With Joy!" If you need professional radio production for a project, call me at 912-237-5636 cell.

In 2002 I officially opened this site, Christian Skit Scripts, to supply skits and soundtracks for churches and drama teams. The soundtracks are recorded in my home studio and released on the Sheep Laughs Records independent label, which I had initially established earlier in that same year for the publication of our comedy CD projects. Since then I have written about 40 new scripts to add to the handful of ones adapted from the previous comedy albums.

For a couple of years I designed websites on the side, until I got too busy with my own work to do it for others. But here are a couple I did that you can look at: Christian comedians Paul Aldrich at www.PaulAldrich.com; Nick Arnette at www.NickArnette.com; and Gary Claxton at www.MouthofSouthGC.com, among many others.

My family recently moved to a home in Reidsville, GA where my wife Patty now works from our home office, taking over the CD duplicating duties and filling the soundtrack orders that come in from this site, freeing me up in the evenings to devote more time to writing and production. Among my new projects is a weekly comedy/variety radio program called the Sheep Laughs Comedy Show. The program vocals are recorded digitally onto Mini-Disc, using an industry standard Electro-Voice RE 20 microphone in a soundproof isolation booth, then mixed with all the program elements using the Sonic Foundry SoundForge production suite. The professional sound is achieved with a large library of production music and sound effects.

When at home, my constant companion is our poodle, born in 1995, named Dusty. (Visit his own page by clicking on his picture.)

Okay, enough history... here are a few personal tidbits about me that you are simply dying to know. You are, aren't you? After all, you have read this far. Unless you were doing so only because of a morbid curiosity to see just how kitschy this could get. Well, never one to disappoint, I present the following facts...

Favorite Fast Food: Krystals (Hey, I'm from the South, I was weaned on these things.)
Favorite Non-Fast Food: Barbeque (Specifically, Fincher's BBQ in Macon. Again, a Southern thing.)
Favorite Oldie: Van McCoy's "The Hustle" (I was a teen in the 70's, graduating in 1976 in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Which explains a lot.)
Favorite book: "A Christmas Carol," by Charles Dickens.
Favorite TV show: Star Trek (Favorite episode: "Mirror, Mirror")
Favorite Movie: "The Time Machine" (The original George Pal 1960 classic, not the uninspired remake.) "Forbidden Planet" runs a photo-finish close second. Oh, and I can't not mention Planet of the Apes.
Favorite Soda: Blue Creme Soda My favorite was made by Fanta but was discontinued years ago.
Favorite Car Owned: my 1968 Cougar (When I dream of driving to this day, I'm always in my old Cougar.)

Most Frequently Recurring Good Dream: Flying, sometimes lucidly and under conscious control!
Most Frequently Recurring Bad Dream: Working at a radio station and unable to find any of the scheduled programs... a series of frantic searches to avoid dead air! Oh, and sometimes I dream about zombies. Of the two, I'd rather take the living dead; less horrifying than dead air.
