Skin

I'm looking at a few old Skitcomp entries to see if they're worth keeping
so any suggestions welcome.

A WOMAN IS SITTING AT A DESK. ON THE WALL BEHIND IS A SIGN THAT READS S.K.I.N
A YOUNG MAN ENTERS:

Man:
Hello is this SKIN?

Woman:
Yes it is. Welcome to the Society for Kindness to & Integration with Northerners.

Man:
I need to visit up North fairly soon and was interested in your intensive week long course.

Woman:
Ok before we start, may I ask are you Cockney?

Man:
No! My parents were both originally from Cockney, but I live just on the outskirts.

Woman:
Good, Good. Here at SKIN we find that Cockney folk, with their heel clicking happy go chirpy ways always find it hardest to integrate with folks from up North.

Man:
Why's that?

Woman:
Mainly because Northerners hate them. Well at least the Northern folk who haven't attended courses with our sister organization SKIDS.

Man:
So what exactly does the course entail?

Woman:
Well firstly we teach you a bit about Northerners & dispell some of the common myths.

Man:
Such as?

Woman:
Well People still believe that Northerners all wear cloth caps, eat whippets for breakfast and everyones on benefits.

Man:
And that's not true then?

Woman:
No. Only the men wear cloth caps, the women don't really wear very much at all.

Man:
Will you be teaching me how to communicate with them?

Woman:
You'd need to go on the 3 year advanced course for that. Our aim is to get you to the point where they don't beat you up very much.

Man:
That sounds great. I'm definitely Interested.

Woman:
Have you had your shots?

Man:
Oh I didn't know I'd need injections.

Woman:
No not those sort of shots. These
(WOMAN BRINGS UP TWO SHOT GLASSES FILLED WITH BROWN LIQUID)

Man:
Is that Gravy?

Woman:
Of course, all northerners like a shot of Gravy once in a while.

Man:
There's so much I need to learn, where can I sign up?

Woman:
It's £ 900 pounds for the week just pay at reception, course starts Monday.

Man:
Sounds great. Thankyou.
(LEAVES)

THE WOMAN SHAKES HER HEAD AND SMILES TO HERSELF

Woman: (In strong Yorkshire accent)
Stupid Southern Twat. More money than brains.
Honestly! shots of gravy whoever heard of such a thing.

SHE LAUGHS TO HERSELF AND THEN BRINGS OUT A PINT OF GRAVY AND TAKES A BIG SWIG
AND GIVES THE GLASS A WINK

Woman: CONT
Eeeeh that's Champion.

:-)))

You could do a matching one for Scots, Irish & dare I say: Welsh visits too.

I think it is very funny too and has room for expansion.

Maybe the acronyms could be better and mean more; as in (straight from the top of my head) N.I.T.S. Northern Integration Training Scheme

And a similar one for the northern training office.

I am from the north and laughed at this very good sketch

a great sketch and I'm a northerner too. very funny

I wish to register my offence.

offence

Wow, this forum auto-corrects offence (with an s) to offence (with a c).

Cheers all.

I always thought that the day I offended Kevin Murphy with a sketch would be the day I got banned.

Well this is pretty funny, but it feels like old, well-worn territory. And of course the bit about Northerners beating up Southerners is preposterous fantasy.

Gravy is always funny.
