NJ: Drinker's Nose

JUSTIN:
From regrettable one night stands to choking on one's vomit - alcohol consumption can lead to a variety of unpleasant side effects.

One of the most common of which is drinker's nose - which is an affliction endured...

FX: GARETH BELCHES LOUDLY

JUSTIN:
By the wine critic - Gareth Scotch. Who as you may have guessed - has joined me in the studio.

GARETH:
(BLATANTLY DRUNK) Are you my daddy?

JUSTIN:
Now, in recent years, there's been a huge surge in men rectifying drinkers' nose with cosmetic surgery - and yet - you've chosen not to be one of them. How come?

GARETH:
Now, you listen here - pal - and you listen real good! You see, just because I've got myself a drinkers' nose - doesn't mean that I'm a 'drinker'!

JUSTIN:
But you critique wine for a living?

GARETH:
Don't you tell me what I do or do do for a living - okay?

JUSTIN:
So, going back to what I was saying - why haven't you sought surgery for your...

GARETH:
Unspecified genetic condition! Well, because I've got nowt to be ashamed about, have I?

JUSTIN:
Well... no, but don't you worry that people will look at your nose and ASSUME you're an alcoholic?

GARETH:
Oh, they do - Justin! They do! (TEARFUL) And they mock me for it!

JUSTIN:
What sort of things do they say?

GARETH:
Usually the R-word!

JUSTIN:
Oh God - you don't mean...

GARETH:
Rudolph! I'm telling you - if I had a pound for every time someone called me by that name, I'd...

JUSTIN:
Pay off your tabs?

GARETH:
Purchase the North Pole!

JUSTIN:
Okay, so we've established that life can be a bit grim for sufferers of... your unspecified genetic condition. But what can be done to help them?

GARETH:
You know, it's funny you should say that! (HE GIGGLES TO HIMSELF) Because I'm organising this awareness thingy!

JUSTIN:
Oh really - when's this happening?

GARETH:
A week tomorrow! I'm calling it - Red Nose Day!

I like the beginning, but then it starts to drag. I'd cut a lot of the later lines, it'd be a lot funnier.

Some funny stuff there but not tight enough as a whole.

Agree with the above. Some good lines but just seems to be two people talking
