Default Endless chain of different coloured hankies gag

Does anyone do one of these routines, where you get upset and pull a hankie out to blow your nose and it just keeps coming?

I don't, but I do plan to get the large rainbow one, when I can.

I don't but I have talked to other entertainers about making a version. Part of the reason you don't see it often right now is that if became a cliche a few years ago when almost every entertainer and wanna-be magician started using it. Now you don't see anybody using it so it is a pretty good time to think about reviving is and giving it a new twist.

myself as a tramp, I would do it as a piece of rope. Pull a few feet and then have laundry start appearing! Socks, Boxers, hankies and the like.

I like it! I Could have three or four hankies followed by some large brightly coloured Y fronts! I could reach into my pocket and unknowingly blow my nose on some of granny Milo’s knickers!!! Priceless!

The humor is so different on each side of the pond. You have brought up some funny ideas but they are just things that would not be appreciated at all over here (even if a certain percentage was tempted to laugh at the effect.)

So keep brainstorming, the more ideas the better.

One of my favorite gags is to pull out my large pinkstriped bandana and ask ...

"How do you make a hankey dance???" .... "You put a little boogie in it" .... *then I blow my nose comically*.... Gross, Yes. Funny, Most definately.

I think that is one of the timeless jokes among kids RD! I must admit it still makes Jennifer laugh at 31 years of age! Not to mention Harmony, only being 11 in clown years (adding 10 to the # of yrs she has been clowning) gets a real kick out of it!

MAN THIS IS REALLY GOOD STUFF! I come from Croatia and kids and adults both love this type of humor. I will definitively try to incorporate
this in to my act. Thanks a lot.
