Hi all,

I am looking for suggestions for comedic male monologues from published plays. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's some good stuff in the rest of Durang, too. Father Donnelly has a great monologue in The Marriage of Bette and Boo.

 

Can you give some more information? Is this for high school, college, community theatre? What production are you auditioning for?

Lenny's monologue in Act II of Neil Simon's Rumors.  A little context - Lenny is pretending to be Charley, the absent host of a dinner party who shot himself in the earlobe, and explaining everything to the cops who have shown up at the party.  He is actually making the entire story up as he goes along, so there can be lots of doubt/inspiration/panic about where the story is going and will it all make sense as it's being spoken.

Thank you for all the suggestions! This is for a college acting class.
