MAN SITS STARING INTO A MIRROR, HE BEGINS TO READ FROM A LONG LIST

MAN:'Things I need to stop doing now I've turned thirty' -

HE READIES HIMSELF, TAKING A DEEP DETERMINED BREATH

Number 1: talking to myself in the mirror (screws up the list angrily)
Who wrote this shit? (peers closely into the mirror) was it you?

END

Tidy and quaint and very visual.

Works for me Shandy.

I don't think it's that strong as a standalone gag. As part of a longer piece, I think it would slot in nicely, like a sitcom scene.

That's what I had in mind when I thought of it, sort of the grain of a character if I ever do come up with a sitcom.

Cheers guys.

It's definitely funny
But I agree it's not quite stand alone

really liked this one

i think it could stand on its own as a sketch - maybe as filler in between two longer sketches - could imagine it in an episode of 'Big Train'

often it is the short and sweet ones that make me laugh the most
