Slides, according to Griff

Thought I'd see what happened if I wrote a skit based on 2 random Wiki entries.

GEFF IS TALKING TO JIM AND MILDRED, AND SHOWING THEM SLIDES

GEFF

Right the dinners over, it's time for my slides from my last holiday.

JIM

You sure we need to go and releave the babysitter.

GEFF

Anyanka isn't it? Don't worry I just paid her £15 by Paypal she's there all night, you don't escape that easily.

MILDRED

But erm I've got a head ache, and stomach cramps and and women's troubles.

GEFF

Yes and I've been dosing your drink with Nurofen, Essence of Rosehip, and Tums all night. I've been on holiday, and I've taken some slides. You're pretty much contractually obliged to stay.

MILDRED STARTS TO WHEEP.

JIM

Chin up girl, we'll make it through this.

MILDRED

Why doesn't any one say it, he's insane. That whole dinner was smoked, the bread, the salad, the after 8s evey f**king thing smoked, he's crazed.

GEFF

Well I do smoke all my food, since staying at Affumati the Romanian food smoking commune for a fortnight last year. Would you like to see those slides as well?

MILDRED

I want to go home, I want go home, you crazed slide taking monster.

JIM

Shut up! We're sorry Geff, we'll be good.

GEFF

Excelent, here's me being awarded the Rana Wickrama Padakkama. It's the Sinhalese medal for gallantry, I'd stabbed one of the rebel leaders to death.

JIM

That was brave of you.

GEFF

Funny story she was an undercover prostitute, and I didn't want to pay. They even let me smoke her corpse. Jerky was very tender wasn't it?

MILDRED IS JUST SOBBING NOW

JIM

Er you've got a nice hat in this slide haven't you Geff?

GEFF

I wore that hat in Afumati, don't take the piss.

Rana Wickrama Padakkama

Affumati

I also set my self 60 seconds prep only, did it work?

It's quite a conventioanl skit really, but I like how Affumati comes up several times and has an effect on the skit

Hmmm, was a bit confused - undercover prostitute was a rebel leader? not sure it's my bag, was thinking more in the line of a parody of that situation in Austria, with the police going down in the cellar to find a projector and holiday snaps and thinking 'what a bastard', although maybe that's too dark (and not topical any more!)

Aah now that is a good idea.

Frtizell showing his family holiday snaps of their holiday to the bathroom last year.

Missed the mark for me this one, but for 60 secs work it is nicely paced and could, with development, lead to a better sketch with these characters.

The idea is 2 use 2 random wiki entries to base a skit on.

No. The idea is to use two random wiki entries to START you writing, once you've got your set and characters you can develop from there.

The characters developed in this sketch are better than the two randon wiki entries that created them.IMO
