New Direction

Hi Folks,

Here's a new one, sadly written so I can record it on my own for my Podcast as Austin is at the Fringe.

See what you think.

Radio Sketch

Dave is driving to the shops using his satellite navigation system.

Sat Nav:At the next roundabout turn left.

Daveh God.

Sat Nav:Turn left

Dave:All right... I bloody heard you.

Sat Nav:You have arrived.

Dave:Is this it? Oh God. Another Saturday at Tesco's, 2lb of sprouts a frozen chicken and an evening of flatulence in front of the X factor. That's it. The rest of my life's stretching before me.

Sat Navlease press life crisis button.

Dave:What?

Sat Navlease press life crisis button.

Dave:The life... here it is. Never noticed...

SFX:BLEEP

Sat Nav:Thank you. Would you like to go somewhere else?

Dave:What? Can you talk to me?

Sat Navf course. You talk to me.

Dave:What? Go somewhere else? Where?

Sat Nav:Anywhere, the choice is limitless.

Davekay then, take me somewhere, somewhere different.

Sat Nav:Turn right.

FX:TRAVEL SOUNDS

Sat Nav:You have arrived

Dave:My God, look at this place everything is so...so green and new. Where are we?

Sat Nav:This is a parallel universe Dave, here all jokes will be funny, the X Factor is never on and women won't think you're a bit odd.

Dave:This is incredible! Was it here all the time?

Sat Nav:All the time Dave.

Dave:Amazing, I'm off to explore, see you later, thanks Sat Nav. (exit Dave)

FX: CAR DOOR CLOSING

Sat Navad isn't it. I've only taken him to Asda.

Been incredibly busy so not done much with Purple Comedy. Only made a couple of short posts recently, latest on is a 5 min short on Al-Magrahi.

Have a listen. http://standupcomedy.podomatic.com/

The Satnav that has a mind of it's own is a pretty old trope and this doesn't do much new with it.

That said the idea about a guy going over the top about going to a new supermarket is plenty sweet. Also the Satnav breaking the 4th wall is rather crude.

Ok I read it pretty much thought what sootyj said. It's been done on here a few times I think (janep and dan collaboration recently) but the different supermarket bit was good.

Hi recorded this sketch and it is now out on the latest Purple Comedy Episode.

Let me know what you think.
