Kidnap sketch

INT. BAR – NIGHT

CHRIS AND ANDREW CHAT OVER A PINT.

CHRIS:
…I said you'll never get that in there but he bloody well did!

ANDREW CRACKS UP. SUDDENLY CHRIS IS SEIZED FROM BEHIND BY A COUPLE OF MASKED MEN AND ABDUCTED. ANDREW LOOKS CONCERNED THEN TAKES ANOTHER SIP FROM HIS BEER.

EXT. ALLEY – NIGHT

CHRIS IS DRAGGED ALONG BY HIS HEELS.

CHRIS:
You're making a mistake! You've got the wrong man!

CHRIS IS BUNDLED INTO THE BACK OF A BLACKED-OUT VAN.

INT.ABANDONED WAREHOUSE – NIGHT

CHRIS LANDS IN A HEAP AS HE'S TURFED NAKED FROM OF THE BACK OF THE VAN. HE SCRAMBLES AROUND IN A PANIC AS A GROUP OF ROBED MEN CARRYING STAFFS ENCIRCLE HIM. TRAPPED, CHRIS DROPS TO HIS KNEES.

CHRIS:
Please! I don't know who you think I am but I haven't done anything!

THE ROBED MEN FLIP THEIR STAFFS OVER TO REVEAL LARGE PAINT BRUSHES. THEY GO AT HIM, DAUBING HIM HEAD TO TOE. AT THE END OF IT HE'S BLUE ALL OVER.

THE MASKED MEN GRAB HIM AND PUSH HIM ROUGHLY THROUGH A LARGE PAIR OF DOORS…

INT. THEATRE – NIGHT

…WHERE HE EMERGES FROM BEHIND A CURTAIN INTO THE MIDDLE OF A 'BLUE MEN' CONCERT. NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO CHRIS PICKS UP A PAIR OF STICKS AND BEGINS DRUMMING. ONE OF HIS FELLOW BLUE MEN LOOKS TO HIM WITH SHARED PITY.

Laughing out loud Ah, 'Blue Man Group' - you've seen the show too! They're brilliant.

Of course, your sketch is a hilarious exaggeration/tribute!

Minuscule clip of their show (can't find the 'kidnap' clip!)

See this show before you die. (I think I just made it!)

Laughing out loud Nice sketch.

Great stuff, again.

Thanks, all. I've not seen the Blue Man group live so I'm basing my knowledge on YouTube clips and Arrested Development. Next time I'm in Vegas though...

Very funny. Bit niche though. Nice if you want that one out of a hundred laughing, and the rest thinking 'What the f**k...?'

With any luck they'll be thinking 'What the f**k?' and laughing.
