Down and Out

INT. COMEDY CLUB - NIGHT

A COMIC IS IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS ROUTINE

COMIC 1:
I've had my ups, and by the look of the bint I was with last night, I've also had my Downs.

AUDIENCE MEMBER:
My daughter has Downs. Get off the stage.

THE COMIC WALKS OFF AND ANOTHER COMIC ENTERS THE STAGE

COMIC 2:
This war in Iraq is terrible, all those soldiers losing limbs. Looking on the bright side, we'll have a great team in the paraplegic Olympics.

AUDIENCE MEMBER:
My son was killed in Afghanistan. You're a f**king disgrace.

THE COMIC WALKS OFF AND ANOTHER COMIC ENTERS THE STAGE

COMIC 3:
Why did the chicken cross the road?

AUDIENCE MEMBER:
I own a farm, and one of my chickens has no legs. You're an insensitive c**t.

Cheers guys :)

I know nothing about Treason or Newsrevue. I'll have to get Googling :O

Have a look in Writers' Discussion - the threads are there. :)

Spot on. A perfect reflection of modern sensibilities winning over common sense. And it's funny, obviously.

Top notch.

Love it.
