Swinging
By James Cotter

Cast of six. 4x males and 2x females

INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - DAY

Mr. Simons: Look, look if we're going to get votes at this years election we're going to have to swing the vote and swing it quick.

Mr. Leigh: I completely concur, a complete change of tack is in order.

Mr. Simons: All those in favour of swinging say aye.

All: Aye.

All the MP's put there keys into a bowl on the table and start picking out other keys and leaving.

Mr. Leigh: I've always liked the look of your one Andrew.

Mr. Simons: I don't blame you, new model, sleek and she purrs along at 120 miles per hour.

Pause.

Mr. Leigh: Are you talking about your wife or you car?

You should be killed for putting this up.

;) A very old 'model'?...

Is it for consideration?
Or is it going straight in?

Is this a really naughty double entendre Steve?

Only you could spot that Marc ;)

I'm not sure about going from 'swing the vote' to actual swinging (with cars or wives), the link up felt forced as if in order to make use of the word swinging.
Maybe would work if there was some sort of misunderstanding between the two to lead on to the punch?

I went to a wife swop party once and got a lovely fridge freezer.

:D

Bit too obvious James and not funny enough. If you haven't written sketches before why give yourself the added pressure to write/perform them in front of an audience?

Write the theme tune, sing the theme tune etc.?

Whistling nnocently Bah! no one noticed my great pun!

Does your pun not look big enough in them Dellas?

:) Are you being sarcy about my BCG joke?

Yes it was pants. :)

;) Marc revenge will be sweet!
