Press
The live-in lovers have finally made it to the altar; the groom is reading the wedding vows he wrote himself. We're both well past 30 now, and unless we get married we should probably split up,
he says. But I'm buggered if I'm carrying all those books back down four flights of stairs... Will you be my first wife?
This cynical little scene comes from the sketch show That Mitchell and Webb Sound, a cut or three above most current radio comedy. If you're sufficiently twisted, you'll also enjoy a wicked spoof of those so-serious charity appeals, this time for Hairdressers Sans Frontières: This is Mwerere. She has to walk 15 miles every day to collect clean water... That's why I gave her this short, very manageable look.
