Father And Son Sketch

Not To sure if it works or not, it sounded funny in me head before i fell asleep.

FATHER AND SON HAVING MEAL AT RESTAURANT. SON IS VERY CAMP.

John
So, Michael, you know that thing we were talking about the other day?

Michael
Yes

John
Well, is it true?

Michael
Dad how many times do I have to tell you, I don't swing that way, I don't play for THAT team, In simple terms Dad, I'm not attracted to men!

John
OK, just had to clear it up. So, hows everything going know?

Michael
Well Ive just split up with Billie

John
(LOOKS CONFUSED) Billy?

Michael
But it was my fault because I was going out with Alex, Toni and Charlie, while still going out with Billie.

John
(LOOKS HIGHLY CONFUSED)
Alex? Toni? Charlie?

John
So who you seeing now?

Michael
Erm..... Lesley

(CAMERA SHOWS JOHN WITH SHOCKED EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE)

Could the last name be Lesley instead of Kevin?
It's funny

You put know instead of now in the last line of the dad

Can I suggest you get rid of the line,'that's a boy's name'. Because that's the whole premise and explaining that detracts from the story line. If you could get a real 'old' major type to play the father I think it would work.

Thanks for the advice guys.

I thought 'Kevin' was funnier, actually!
Gives it another twist. 'Lesley' works the same premise that we've already established, whereas 'Kevin' is a truer punchline in that there is a humorous gear-change.

Looks like another one slipped the net. Are you getting kickbacks from Knorr?

Dont mean to sound stupid but i dont get this, i may come across as simple here.

Knorr. Got to K-now how. Obviously that is a legitimate K that is emphasised, but I was suggesting your errant Ks were the work of soup supremo Knorr. Don't worry, on reflection it's not funny at all.

Good little sketch. You could milk it more too, if you wanted.

Well, I thought it was funny. The sketch not so much though. If the kid hadn't said straight up he wasn't into men it might have had potential. The prying dad could have asked after his love life and grown increasingly concerned as his son reeled off a list of sexually ambiguous names. To end off, the son would say that right now he's going out with Sarah. Dad would be placated. Cue the punch - Sarah arrives - a six foot squaddie with two days growth and twenty-two inch biceps.
