Mart the Knife Sketch

Any feedback would be great. Punchline I have changed a few times.

Mart the Knife Sketch

MARGARET AND COLIN ARE ROUND DONNA AND MARTIN'S HOUSE FOR DINNER. EVERYONE IS A LITTLE TIPSY, EXCEPT FOR COLIN.

Margaret: Why I must say the chilli-con-carne's lovely.
Martin: Yes it took three hours, blood and sweat, but it's worth the wait.
Margaret: Delicious.

MARGARET GOES TO OPEN A CAN OF BEER. SHE FEELS PARTICULARLY WEAK. MARTIN CHIVALROUSLY TAKES THE CAN AND FLIPS UP THE PULL WITH HIS LEATHERMAN MULTITOOL THINGYMAJIGGY. HE DELICATELY POURS IT INTO A GLASS.

Martin: A little leverage...
Margaret: Thank you!
Donna: He's not just a pretty face you know.
Colin: Is it me, or can you smell burning?

MARGARET KICKS COLIN UNDER THE TABLE.

Donna: I think I'd prefer a wine with this, is that ok darling?
Martin: Certainly. I've got a gadget for that.

MARTIN USES HIS LEATHERMAN ONCE AGAIN TO OPEN A BOTTLE OF WINE.

Martin: A little twist...
Margaret: Fab!
Colin: (Quietly) And for his next miracle...

THE LADIES CLAP.

Margaret: If only Colin could pop corks like that!
Martin: The old vintages are never as hard.
Margaret: Sad, but true!

DONNA, MARGARET AND MARTIN ALL COLLAPSE LAUGHING. COLIN SIGHES AND GLARES AT THE OTHERS. SUDDENLY MARTIN STARTS SNIFFING. HE GETS UP AND RUSHES TO THE LIVING ROOM DOOR. ON OPENING IT HE FINDS THE ROOM FULL OF FLAMES. DONNA SCREAMS AND THE OTHER TWO JUMP UP.

Donna: Oh my god!
Colin: (PATTING MARTIN ON THE BACK) Go on Mart. Give that hose gadget a little squirt.

Hey Bard. I think it reads more as dialogue from a sitcom than a sketch - I can see it in Peep Show.

It is setup nicely but I think the last line seems a little forced? (re the squirt inuendo). I'd perhaps have Colin smirk with a "Well I'm sure there must be something in your leatherman?". Perhaps make it even more surreal - have him click a button on the leatherman and cardborad cut out firemen pop up and put out the fire. Martin "Ahh. Never used that one before".

You know I think your right, I was thinking of altering it, maybe with an i-phone "ap for that" moment or something. Will take it back and rework. I don't know why but I always seem to produce something sitcomish rather than sketchy.

Good idea and pacy, but perhaps a few too many distractions with some fo the jokes
