Monologue Description: “FATMAN OF GREATNESS” is a drama about an actor telling off an artistic director of a theatre company.

Character Description: In this monologue, Fidelio speaks vehemently at the artistic director of his theatre company troupe. Fidelio does not agree with the methods and etiquette of how this artistic director treats the actors within the company. He calls it quits at the company.

FIDELIO:

You are so bloated with self importance, it sickens me. Waltzing around here like some sort of significant theatre genius. Oh, please! You walk around like a giant fat man of greatness, who hasn’t taken a shit in weeks!

(making fart noises with his mouth and tongue)

THHHRRRR! THHRRRR! THHHRRRR!

It’s no wonder you haven’t burst from all your genius! Strolling in and out of rooms, making these elaborant grand entrances—your nose concocted high in the air, with your chin leading the way—broad shoulders that you carry around like you are some sort of high priest of bigotry.

You disgust me! Instead of a nurturing environment where actors can grow in their craft, you denounce us and upstage us and command us with your so called brilliance. I am quitting the company. There is no future for me here sir and I happily and proudly leaving this place.

GLADLY, leaving this place and you can take your self-importance in one hand, pull out a pin in the other and POP yourself!!!
