NJ Ep2 Reject - "X-Factor Wardrobe Malfunction"

"X Factor Wardrobe Malfunction"

Justin intro:
In Victorian times for Saturday night entertainment the public would go down to the local asylum and pay to laugh at the antics of lunatics; thankfully, it's different in the modern progressive era and today ITV broadcasts them free-to-air on "The X Factor".
In order to qualify for the show the contestants must be able to talk about "an incredible journey" they've been on - looking at some of them the very fact they manage to go to catch a bus without injuring both hands is incredible enough.
This week one performer has received extensive media coverage, somewhat ironically, for a wardrobe malfunction. I'm joined by her now.

Natasha:
<<giggle>> Hello, Justin. Woooo! Yeah, I was on stage and started singing but it turned out my dress was a little bit too short.

Justin:
So the judges could see your pants?

Natasha:
Yeah, but we all are - that's the point of the auditions programmes.

Justin:
Quite. And I understand you danced for Gary Barlow - but the front of your gown fell down?

Natasha:
<<giggle>> Yeah. One minute I was dancing round the stage, and the next a flabby tit popped out... and told me to pull my dress back up.

Justin:
And did have you not find it difficult, exposing yourself?

Natasha:
<<giggle>> Silly - it was easy -just one call to Max Clifford and I'm in all the papers.

[poor ending but I timed out]

Very funny intro, but I think that was stronger than the sketch. There's no real interesting angle and it's a bit by numbers so didn't really work for me, I'm afraid.

The 'see your pants' and 'flabby tit' bits (ooh-er missus, flabby titbits!) are decent enough gags, but not much substnace to it, as Dan said. Proofing also a touch off (this is me picking on people who make the same mistakes I do!) at the end, i.e. this bit:
