In search of a Male Comedic Modern Monologue...#1
Posted: 2/7/07 at 10:03pm
Hey everyone!
I'd like to think I'm a self-sufficient monologue searcher...but frankly, I'm failing miserably. I was wondering if anyone knew of any male comedic modern monologues (age 18-25)? While I should know more Beckett, Miller and Williams, our professor is only giving us two days to find a piece...Any and all help is much appreciated!

This is a wonderful monologue - hilarious yet has heart beneath it all. Enjoy.

I wouldn't even know where to start, Robin, I swear. First of all, trying to find somebody safe on this campus, I mean, somebody who's relatively disease free, who hasn't slept with one of my friends, who isn't heavily involved with somebody, who isn't painful to look at or talk to, who actually likes guys - this is a next-to-impossible task. If I do find somebody like this, the odds that she will have any interest in me are not terrific. And, you know, I mean, I don't even know if I would allow myself to go after a person I respected, since I know the kind of guy I am. I know the thoughts I think. I know I would not want me to date my daughter, if I had a daughter. I know that I cease to become interested in nine out of ten women almost immediately after I've slept with them, ,and I've only slept with three women. I know prematurely ejaculate on occasion. I know I sometimes prefer blow jobs to actual intercourse, yet I can't come up with a halfway logical reason for a woman to want to give one. I know I find sleazy women pretty attractive, and look at most women as objects. I know that white men have a hell of a historical legacy, what with enslaving blacks and treating women like cattle, so I feel ashamed to be a member of what is supposed to be the privileged class. And I know that sensitive guys sound good in theory, but in practice, most of the women I observe are attracted to men who treat them like ****. I know these things. So, you see, it would be very difficult for me to try to pick you up while retaining even minor amounts of dignity and truth and still enjoy myself a little...
But I was standing over there, across the room, and I saw Willy try to pick you up, and I know he's pretty smashed tonight, and I just wanted to see if you were okay.
Are you okay?
