Joke - Sketch -Sketch -Joke

When is a Joke a sketch or a sketch just a joke?
(serious question!)

You can tell a joke.
You have to perform a sketch.

Very succinct MR Lazzard, however one of the best jokes I can remember was performed by a mime artist and I still laugh when I remember it.

But you can easily perform most jokes.
Does that mean any joke that can be given some performance element to it can be considered a sketch?

Teddy hands thread over to Melvin Bragg and goes on the ale!

I need an Irishman & a Scotsman for a joke I'm performing later at the National, I would start a new thread but if anyone's interested PM me

How about these two? They seem friendly and approachable.
