Every year I try to think of a little sketch to do for Christmas, something that doesn't cost money and something daft/silly/stupid.
I thought of one, but I am not happy with the third song choice I used or the ending, and was thinking maybe some of you lot could throw in some ideas. So here it is:
External - Night - Sometime near Christmas
A lone Carol singer is seen walking in the street. He is wearing a wolly hat and a scarf, and a pair of earmuffs he is carrying a bucket with a sign stuck to it "Merry Christmas."
He approaches a door - a man opens the door he is the householder.
Carol singer starts to sing
Carol singer:
We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year, good tidi
Householder interrupts the carol singer
Householder:
No no sorry mate it just doesn't work, there's only one of you, and you are saying WE wish you a merry Christmas, it just doesn't seem right
Carol Singer is a bit shocked but changes the song.
Carol singer:
Little donkey, little donkey, on a dusty road, got to keep on plod
Householder interrupts again.
Householder:
No I don't like that song, it reminds me of that poor donkey on the adverts, carrying all them bricks, to sad. What else have you got?
Carol singer thinks for a while
Carol singer:
We three kings of orient are, bear
Householder interrupts again
Householder:
No no, that's the same problem as the first one, there is only one of you
Carol singer seems a bit dumbfounded
Carol singer:
Ok is there any particular song you would like me to sing?
Householder thinks for a while.
Householder:
Um, do you know any Kylie songs?
Carol singer holds the bucket up to the man, gesturing for man to chuck some money into it
Carol singer says in a jovial voice:
Happy New Year.
