I need a comedic monologue from a play appropriate for a 13-16 year old for an audition. It has to be at least 3 minutes. I already have a dramatic monologue, but I really need a comedic one. Does anyone know of any?!?!

Look at "I OUGHT TO BE IN PICTURES" by Neil Simon. The daughter in it is supposed to be 17 or 18, I think.

If you are female:

The title character in Happy Birthday, Wanda June by Kurt Vonnegut is 10 years old and delivers a monologue from heaven where she now resides after being hit by an ice cream truck.

This monologue describes life in heaven along the lines of "Everybody plays shuffleboard. Jesus Christ plays shuffleboard."

Also The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds by Paul Zindel has an odious little monster named Janice Vickery (I think) who is describing her science project, and she is quite funny and just an awful person. Her project is the skeleton of a cat so you will probably have to mime that.
