Sketch Idea #1: What if Being Homeless was a Job?

What if they turned up to work in their suits and ties and got changed into their homeless gear?

Picture this...

One man in a room. The room looks like a changing room in a gym, with lockers around the edges and benches in the center. A man is in a suit getting undressed. Then another man walks in, it is clear that they both know each other they exchange greetings:


"Alright Jeff?", "Barney!! you old sod!" (posh accents). They carry on taking about everyday things whilst getting changed. But there is something not right with this scene. They aren't putting on gym gear, they are getting dressed in tatty clothes! They ask each other things like "what fragrance are you going for today?" and the other replies "ermm well i was thinking about stale wee. You?"... Then they start ripping their clothes so they look rags, and adding dirt to their faces. It is clear they are dressed as homeless people. They then move from the changing room to another room set out like a dispensary (think SWAT team gun cage). They are greeted by a guy in the cage. One of then says "Hi Larry, i think today i will have one cute dog, a crutch and a recorder today" Larry answers "oh, no metal leg today? What about you Barney, the usual?", "yes please old kid, oh and i think I will also have the beaten up McDonald's cup for the change". They then get all their begging "add ons" and leave through a door onto the streets.

A very freaky scene I think, just what i was thinking this morning and it made me laugh!
