Does any of this work on any level?

I was just wondering if any of this works on any level.

Chirpy
Don't you just hate it when a bird shits on you?
I mean, I know you never know what you're going to get in a brothel, but how hard can it be to shut the aviary door? Am I right?

Smuggish
Bit of observational humour for you there. I like to make a connection with my audience early on.

So, we've got the Tories in power then, propped up by the Lib Dems. I always picture it like two removal men lifting a sofa up some stairs. Clegg being the man on the lower end, completely at the mercy of the guy up top and about to get a hernia.

Smuggish
See I switched it up there, went all political.

'I mean, I know you never know what you're going to get in a brothel'

This bit didn't ring true somehow.

not really, but delivery can be key.

The 2nd joke about the sofa is a good base but doesn't really go anywhere, it's a very visual joke with ample room for comedy, make the most of it. I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere comparing The Chuckle Brothers with Dave & Nick ;)

In the first joke I like how it starts off with one meaning of having a bird shit on you, changes the meaning and then switches back again at the end. Perhaps a little rewording could improve it though.
