Pirate

3 PIRATES STANDING IN A ROW

PIRATE 1
HA HAAAAR

PIRATE2
ARRR ARRRRRR

PIRATE3
ARRR HA AAR HA HA

A PHARMACIST WALKS ON AND GOES TO EACH PIRATE IN TURN

PHARMACIST
That's for your laryngitis Blue Beard

GIVES HIM SOME LYNCTUS, WHICH HE DRINKS

PHARMAACIST
That's for your chesty cough, Mad Jack the Mad

GIVES HIM SOME LOZENGES WHICH HE SUCKS

PHARMACIST
And Blood thirsty Pete, this should clear up your piles.

HANDS HIM SOME CREAM, HE DISAPEARS INTO A TOILET, THIS IS THEN HEARD

PIRATE3

ARR HA HA ARR, ooh that's better.

JOINS THE OTHER TWO

PIRATE1

So I say a pancake is just an omelette with flour.

PIRATE2

Yes but what a souffle?

Yes with added gay voice. Excellent.

Mention at the start that they're in a pharmacy (unless you're going for a reveal), and cut the sketch at ' ... ooh, that's better.'

Job done.

(Mind you, one of them could have toothache - or maybe that's a different sketch entirely.)

Very good. To correct roscoff though, P3 should have a normal accent, whilst P1 and 2 should be impossibly stereotypically posh.

That would kill it deadxer than Bambi's mum

hmm maybe, I suppsoe then only have one pirate, unless the others beat him up for not ebing a proper pirate.

Nope. Gay is better. I'm comfortable with my sexuality before you ask!

very nice - maybe think of another punchline though? The end feels a bit bolted on, as if any punchline would do. There must be something more pirate related? Maybe something like - for the last f--king time, starboard is left.

(assuming it is left!)
