And then he said, then the other guy said...

So, I'm creating again. Writing sketches. Hopefully funny sketches. I don't know if writing a sketch is harder then stand-up, but you still have to get the words just right. I guess I'll see when no laughter is heard over the diabolical writing in my sketches.
 One day in the near future (Probably when I've thrown out my horrific excuse for making money) I will be able to solely focus on this project.

My influences are The League of Gentlemen and of course Monty Python, but I don't want that to show too much. And these are all 'Male' sketch groups, maybe I should make mine with all of the boobs. What do you think?

Another question to provoke your kindest (or not so) thoughts is: Can girls be as funny as guys in sketches?

I think they can, but it's a bit harder, as with any comedy for a girl. Just because we're biologically wired to find men funnier. It's like their sad little mating calls. What do you think? Comment and tell me.

Also, another mind boggling question for you folk...

This is an idea of mine, but has it been done before? Remember this is a quick write up of the idea and not the final product.

Scene, in a small shop, 1 shop keeper, female middle-age. 

A customer comes up to the counter with a basket of shopping.  

S: Hi, can I help you?

C: Just these please.

S: Certainly sir, do you have a loyalty card?

C: I don't, no.

Short pause, look of disgust from shop keeper. 

S: You don't know? You don't know? (Mocking)

C: erm... I don't have one.

S: If you don't know that how can I expect you to look after these items, eh, eh, eh? (Slowly creeping closer to his face) 

C: err.


S:  (Agressive) Get out my shop.  



Has is been done? Someone said it sounds familiar, but that it could be from me telling them. 


Anyway! Bu-bye! :)
