Radio Comedy

I've recently been asked to write some sketches for a radio station. Here is what I've produced so far.....Funny ?

Scene, 2 old Yorkshire Men talking over a table (may be a pub, may be a café)

Man A – “Eyup, how you doing?”

Man B – “Ummmm, had to go to the dentist yesterday”

Man A – “At 2.30? … *Laughing*

Man B – No 3 O’clock

Man A – So what did you have done?

Man B – The dentist said I had a large cavity, so I needed it sorting, he said given the size I could have a choice of filling

Man A – So what did you have? Gold? Silver?

Man B – Cheese and Pickle

Man A – “Eyup, how you doing?”

Man B – “Ummmm, well, I went to Argos today

Man A – Did you buy owt?

Man B – No, but I did learn a couple of important things

Man A – Yes?

Man B – Yes, I found out that my…erm, my…

Man A – Delilah?

Man B – No, that errm, that my downstairs…

Man A – You live in a bungalow…

Man B – Nooo, you know, anyways, I realised that it’s the size of two Argos pens

Man A – OOO so what was the other thing you learnt?

Man B – I can’t go in Argos any more

Man A – What you smiling at?

Man B – Just thinking about my Dad

Man A – What about?

Man B – Thinking that, as we sit here talking he’s looking down on me and laughing.

Man A – He’s not dead is he?!

Man B – No… Just very very condescending

***

Man a – Eyup

Man B – Eyup, been to the cinema today

Man A – What did you see?

Man B – Pirates of the Caribbean

Man A – Did you like it?

Man B – To be honest started me thinking about when I was a little un I was scared of pirates, with their peg legs and hooks.

Man A – True

Man B – Nowadays they wouldn’t have a skull and crossbones, they’d have a disabled sticker.

Man A – Do you know where pirates go shopping?

Man B – Nope…*Sighing*

Man A – Aaaaaaaaaargos *does exaggerated pirate impersonation*

Man B – I can’t go there anymore.

Early developments in radio were called ‘wireless telegraphy’, which is why the radio used to be called the wireless.

The word ‘broadcasting’, referring to radio transmissions, was originally an agricultural term for the wide scattering of seeds.

The existence of radio waves and the feasibility of radio transmission was predicted by James Clark Maxwell in the 1860s.

Marconi made the first successful transatlantic transmissions of radio waves in 1901 and 1902.

In 1903, Marconi enabled US President Roosevelt to send a radio message to Edward VII.

Before Marconi, others including Nikola Tesla, Oliver Lodge and Heinrich Hertz had good claims to have invented radio transmission.

In 1922, the UK government introduced a radio licence costing 10 shillings (50p).

Officially, from 1922-1971 you could not listen to the radio in the UK without having a licence.

Marconi won a Nobel Prize for “contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy” in 1909.

Marconi was the great-grandson of John Jameson, founder of Jameson Irish Whiskey.

The longest marathon hosting a radio talk show by a team is 60 hr 52 min 8 sec and was achieved by Jessy Abu Faisal (Lebanon) and Amjad Hijazin (Jordan), in Amman, Jordan, from 2 to 4 February 2016. The attempt was completed in Sawt El Ghad studios.

I couldn't undo the buttons on my jumper, so i tried pulling it over my head but got it stuck. I'm in A&E now waiting to see a cardyologist.
