KI - Recession Meeting

Man 1 - Welcome to the Growth Factory the governments initiative to get the country out of recession. We have decided to try a new runway, longer high speed rail track and more wind farms. Does anyone have more ideas?

Man 2 - How about we turn Scotland into a car park for England?

Woman 1 - What about the Scottish people?

Man 2 - We build a new Scotland where Northern Ireland is

Woman 1 - What about

Man 1 - (Interrupting) Don't bother he won't get it. (To MAN 2) I'll make a note of that

Man 2 - (Proud) I helped

Woman 1 - How about a tax on tiny beards? We can tax Richard Branson, Noel Edmunds and Anne Robinson

Man 1 - Not bad. Anything else?

Man 2 - Lower pay for MPs

Woman 1 - What? You may as well introduce a twat tax!

Man 1 - The point of this is to make the lives of other people shit not ours? Come on you can do it

Man 2 - Erm (Thinking)

Woman 1 - Dig deep!

Man 2 - How.About We (Thinking) attack the poor?

WOMAN 1 and MAN 2 cheer and are very proud

Man 1 - He's got it. He's finally got it

END

It's alright: it' quite funny but lacks focus, in my opinion. Again, pick one of the gags and concentrate on that one, making it sillier.

I agree with Dan - pick something more specific. Maybe try a sketch of "crazy infrastructure projects", like the Scotland/carpark thing. Or a sketch where MPs try to find something to tax, can't agree on anything... until it turns out none of them like pasties - although that is slightly ruined by this morning's news.

thanks for the feedeback. would you say a general rule of thumb should be one theme? Even if it can lead to others there is always a main theme

Yeah, one good idea in the sketch and stick to it, basing it all around that. Trying to focus on more never really helps a sketch in general.
