I'm looking for a comedic male monologue from a play. I'm looking for something that isn't on the "over done monologue" list. Any suggestions (Play, and playwright) would be appreciated. I'm a 19 year old, white male. Looking for something in the age range of 18-25.

Don't know what's on the list, but the son's monologue in House of Blue Leaves can be very funny.

I agree with the son's monologue from The House of Blue Leaves by John Guare. It begins Act 2 and talks about how when he was a kid he wanted to be in a movie and how his audition went very wrong. The play is farce and it's a very broad monologue which requires a lot of over the top energy.

A much lesser known monolouge is from "Where Has Tommy Flowers Gone?" by Terrence McNally. In the monolouge, Tommy talks about his disgust of having to go see his high school principal and his general dislike of school.
