COMEDY ROUTINE A

So, its been gettin’ real cold lately, jeez.

[Optional: Have you guys been feeling this?]

We went out and bought one of those heated blankets the other day, you know to try to keep warm. Boy, was that a mistake!

I wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, my back just boiling red hot...

[scream RED HOT in a funny way, for physicality/slap stick]

What in God’s name is goin’ on here, I say to my wife. This is ridiculous! Then I look at the label: George Foreman’s grilling blanket....ouch!

[big laughs probably]

Speaking of foremen, has anyone here ever worked at a construction site? Yeah? Oh more than I thought. [Hand-gesture here]. You guys keep - this - city - going!

[lead audience in round of applause]

What’s up with myst? It’s like rain, but frozen in time.

I wish I could freeze time because then I’d be...one with the myst. Not to mention the gorillas that are in there.

[minor laughs]

But I’m interested in more than just weather, I also enjoy sleeping. Sleeping? You’re probably thinking, ‘thats a bore,’ right? It might look like just a man on a mattress wrapped up in blankets, but inside, I’m a wizard wrapped in his blanket robes. Ha ha...

[laugh along with audience, build camaraderie]

But all kidding aside. I don’t even understand why we use blankets anyway. We should just wear our clothes to bed. That way when we wake up its just like (slaps hands) Ready to go!

Thanks.

My name is Dan Riley, good night!
