Dwain Gears Up

RUGBY LEAGUE MANAGER and TELEVISION INTERVIEWER

INTERVIEWER:
Ryan, you must be really excited to have Dwain on board?

MANAGER:
Christ! Well chuffed.

INTERVIEWER:
And what do you think he’ll bring to the team?

MANAGER:
There’s so much.

INTERVIEWER:
You mean his speed?

MANAGER:
Not just his speed, Kirsty. His brown, his white, his dope ...

I like this one. Simple and straight to the point. Might want to condense the first two interviewer lines into a single line (don't think you need the 'intro' line just go straight to the question.)

Thanks for the feedback, Dan.

Not sure about intro. I wrote it primarily for Treason Show and they seem to like it.

In theatre shows in a big venue like the Komedia, unlike t.v. I think you need a slightly longer build. Sometimes a quickie like this is done, and it's finished before half the audience seems to have picked up it's started. They need time to tune in, if you like, especially when they're eating, drinking, etc. Newsrevue does tend to be quicker, possibly because it's a much smaller space. Not sure.
