Well, I thought it was about time to break back into escapes (no pun intended) so I broke down and bought a Posey Jacket from Cannons.

It's been awhile since I've done the escape, and I used to perform it with jokes about it and such, but I can;t remember what they were!

So what are some jokes that you could share, pertaining to the Straight Jacket Escape?

Sam

Have a cellphone in a shirt pocket. Straitjacket on top of that. When you release one arm,have a friend in the audience call you. Look suprised, struggle with your free arm to get the phone out, and bring it down and outside of the jacket at waist level. Try to get your head down to answer it, but don't quite get there, so just shout "Sorry I can't get to the phone tight now...I'm a bit tied up!"

LOL. That is a nice one Mick.

I heard that Joe Pasqualie (sp?) does a SJ routine and produces a pint of beer in teh middle fo the escape.

I have seen people tell blokes when tehy are doing up the crotch strap "know I can see you are a man of the world ...... so you will know what I mean when I say I am TOO THE LEFT ........ that's MY left NOT yours".

This is obvosly a getting in to it gag not a during the escape gag.
I do like Micks idea.
