SOUND OF TAXI DRIVING

MARKO
Aaah so you going to comedy show tonight, that is good. In my country Turkmenistan, comedy was banned, only comic allowed was Pottock the clown, every one new he was minister for state security in red nose, typical joke, what do you call a family with radio that picks up BBC world service, tell Pottock and get a free balloon. My father was caught listening to illegal knock knock joke, he was sent to gulag with out hearing punch line, he came out of gulag, and all he could whisper was, who’s there, who’s there. I saved for 5 years then went to black market, and bought the punch line. I go home and saw my father, he says who’s there? I say p. He says p-who, I say that is disgusting, he laughed once, and then he died. It is good story, you have fun tonight.

Another thought for Tilt

i'd cut it at the free balloon joke.

I think at the balloon line, would be a bit of a jarring hault, I also love that tragic death scene, mixed with a school yard joke.

But I'll think on it thanks for the feedback.
