Karen Mathews is being taken to court by a police officer

Karen
Wait if I’m going to prison can you put this letter in the paper, who knows when they’ll let me out.

Police
Is it a heartfelt letter, so Shannon can know how much you love her?

Karen
Kinda’

Police reads letter,

Police
Lonely hearts, 30 something unattractive woman, with 7 kids, seeks pubescent love machine that smells of fish, paedophiles welcome.
You’re not doing your self any favours you know.

Better than Shannon 1 :D

I like this one better too.

I liked this one a bit more.

It's definitely an improvement. My concern is that the last line is a bit of a mouthful to end on. Perhaps shorten it to something like this?

Probably right there, I guess TS usually trim my verbosity any way. I think the paedophiles welcome is pretty essential.

I suspect Karen Mathews often finishes on a mouthful, matron!

I think I kinda see a stereotypical copper, reading it very slowly.

The performance beating the writing so to speak.

Two problems. Nobody will touch a Karen Mathews sketch until it's been determined by a court of law what her crime, if any, is. And secondly, related to this point, it's not really clear what really went on. I'm not convinced there's any paedo element, other than Karen's boyfriend had a few dodgy elents on his laptop.

You've clearly never been to Treason Show or Newsrevue.

In news revue

In News Revue now?

yuppo

Oh, the Edinburgh one?

Nope London, do you especially wish to see my fish smelling paedo line performed live?

Ha!
I'm just confused! Is she topical again?

No often they just like a funny skit/simple on a well known subject

And the lady who does the skit does a cracking Karen Mathews.
