Gagging For It

(4 characters, 2 locations)
A thirtysomething jobless mute and blind man and an older, unemployable Tourette’s sufferer bump into one another at hospital appointments, engineered by their caring nurse, who sees them as pooling their resources wants to bring new meaning to the lives of a seeing them as potentially s a comedy double act. She's got them an audition/ a comedy club owner. They deliver their set to him on the stage of the empty auditorium. It goes down badly, a series of naff one-liners txted on a mobile phone and then verbalised by the twitchy other man as he reads the screen. They blame each other for the failure. Fight over it and injure one another. The nurse tends to their wounds back in the hospital waiting area where they met.
