A Farookie mistake shurely?

Do you spent twenty-three and three-quarter hours writing puns and only 15 minutes progressing the character of Jack Delaney each and every day?

Pretty much! It's a tough job but someone has to do it. Actually today I am mainly writing knob gags for an episode of DOCTORS.

MARC:
(V/O) I can't believe I'm reduced to writing knob gags for Doctors. These really are new depths...

F/X PHONE RINGS
VOICE:
Marc! It's Andrew Newman! We're doing a 101 Greatest Puns in our ever-more-desperate listing... erm... listings! Are you up for it?

MARC:
Pun-tastic! I'll get my pun! I can't believe this is ha-pun-ning!

PEN GOES ON FIRE AS MARC IMMEDIATELY SCRIBBLES AWAY FURIOUSLY.

For the gig I have invented a fictional brother that I can refer to and the various problems he has. Probably because I have a dull life!

Could you not pretend they were your problems?

Sure, just open with

"These jokes are about things that happened my brother, but he'll kill me if I tell ones about him.

...so I've only got one b*ll*ck"

no, he's called Mikey

Who me? Really? I'm your long-lost brother?

Good luck with the stand-up, Kate.
