Denis Kilcommons: If you have a yen to be a best man

Oct 19 2009 by Denis Kilcommons

If only life was so simple and you could go along to a dispatch agency (that’s what they are called), flip through their albums and say, “I want that one” like wheelchair Andy in Little Britain.

Unfortunately, it isn’t, which is why these agencies are thriving and out of work actors are pocketing £125 (which is a lot of yen) to turn up and pretend at whatever function they are required to attend.

Oh yes, and it’s an extra £30 to make a speech. Which is fine as long as they don’t get them mixed up and deliver the eulogy at the wedding.

“On this sad day, let us reflect on a life tragically ended before its time.”

I’m looking forward to a similar agency opening in Huddersfield and the possibility of earning extra cash.

Anyone want a grandad?
