It's A Man's Game Sketch

Haven't posted for a while so I thought I'd post this. Not sure if it works or not. Cheers for the feedback in advance guys!

THREE MEN (TERRY, MICK, BARRY) ARE SITTING AT A TABLE IN A PUB. THEY EACH HAVE A PINT OF LAGER.

Terry
You should of seen the game today boys, tackles flying in everywhere there was. I mean at one point you could have been forgiven for thinking this was a war not a bleeding football match!

Barry
Yeah?

Terry
Yeah (SMILES) I'll tell you what, today's game was proof that football is a man's game!

Mick
(LAUGHS) A man's game? Don't make me laugh. I mean in what other sport are you considered injured if you have a dead leg?

Terry
You may mock Mick, but that's only because you know I'm right.

Mick
Football is not a man's game, it's full of foreigners who do nothing but look in the bleeding mirror to make sure their hair is not messed up, it's not like the rugby, now that's a man's game.

Terry
If you say so Mick. (SMILES)

Mick
It is, you have to be brave to try and take down a 6ft 3, 18 stone man.

Terry
Or gay. (LAUGHS)

Mick
Now pack that in, we can never have an adult conversation about things can we? Because you always go and spoil it by saying something stupid!

Terry
Oh shut up Mick......

Barry
Will you two give it a rest? Can't we agree that both sports are a 'man's game?'

Terry
Suppose so, I mean rugby can be quite dangerous at times.

Barry
Mick?

Mick
Ok, I guess there are some players who are brave and play with their heart, like a true man should.

Barry
Now drink up, were already late for practice.

(ALL THREE MEN FINISH THEIR DRINKS, WHEN THEY STAND UP IT IS REVEALED THAT THEY ARE WEARING TUTU'S AND BALLET SHOES, THEY WALK OUT OF THE ROOM)

Maybe it's just me being particularly prescient today, but this was another I'm sure I've seen before. Nicely written, though.

Unless you can find another angle or twist, I'm afraid this one doesn't do it for me; I saw the punchline coming too early.

I quite like this. I didn't see the punchline, which may be a reflection on my inadequacies more than anything else. I know what you mean though, Rob0; this does remind me of the transvestite soldiers and sailors in Monty Python.

It's a nice simple idea, but the lines leading to trhe punch could be funnier.

Not sure male ballet dancers wear tutus. Or that there is reason to think that they are not interested in football or rugby. Or that ballet is not a "man's game". It is physically demanding, and inflicts a lot of damage on the body. You are rather playing to old-fashioned stereotypes of prancing fairies. I realise that the joke lies in inversion of the stereotype, but this rather depends on the acceptance of the stereotype in the first place.

Timbo's brought up a good point, but the ridiculousness of the situation could pull it through.

The sketch is quite good, but I think maybe you hammer home the point of manliness a bit too much. We get the idea that they're being set up for a fall early on, so you should hit us with the punchline sooner.
