Just A little sketch to be pulled apart lol!

MAN STARTING HIS NEW JOB

MAN: Hi I'm Here for the job,
RECPTIONIST: Sorry it's gone,
Man: Yes I Got It, I start Today.
RECEPTIONIST: No sorry I was told I went to a guy named Dave!
MAN: I'm Dave,
RECEP: No, Sorry, I was told Daves young and good looking!
MAN I'm 31,
RECP: Hardly Young!
MAN: Well I'm not old!
RECEP: You are in my book granddad!
MAN: Look I start Today and I just want to know where my desk is?
RECEP: Nowhere your not dave!
MAN: This is getting silly!
RECEP: Your the one standing there like some weirdo impersonating Dave!
MAN: I'm not Impersonating, I am Dave,
RECEP: Not, Sorry, I was told dave was fit!
MAN: Fit, Fit, Look I'm here to start work, don't care what you think of my "FITNESS" where do I sit?
RECEP: All Right Granddad, just checking to see if you had a sense of humour!
RECEP: Go through the first door on the right and pick any Cubical!
MAN WALKS OFF
ONE MINUTE LATER MAN RETURNS
MAN: It's the Ladies!

Nice very zippy, irrational and funny.

Maybe one final line for the girl/

She calls him a pervert for going in the ladies or something?

I agree that it's fun, and I agree that Sooty's last line is a worthy addition. The thing I'd change is the "I was told you were fit" business. For me I think it would be kind of funny if they just refused to believe it was him.

Feels like you can escalate this a bit more and get more out of the conflict. Hope the audience is patient in the one minute gap where nothing happens. :)

Yeah, I'm with Badge on this. The build up doesn't go anywhere and the ending isn't the strongest in the world. It's not that funny that he gets sent into the toilets in my opinion.

Nothing to add other than to agree all the points made by others. Not sure why I bothered posting really...

I agree with Tursiops...

Well thank you everyone for your thoughts,
I'm glad it got the recognition it deserved!

Thank you everyone.
