Where can I find comedy monologues from play scripts?
Monologue Blogger is a performing arts resource that has been around since 2006. Over time MB has added hundred of comedy monologues from play scripts to its website for actors.
New comedic material gets uploaded constantly and all funny monologues are derived from published plays.
Here are a few different approaches to comedy monologues to consider:
Satire: Satire is a form of humor critique that uses irony and exposes the flaws, or shortcomings of individuals, or society.
Dark Comedy: Dark comedy comes into play when a character in a monologue could be experiencing a dramatic realization, but the tonality uses an amusement that highlights the subject in a hilarious way.
Slapstick: Slapstick is a form of physical comedy that relies on exaggeration. Masters of this form who quickly come to mind are Buster Keaton, Charles Chaplin, Lucille Ball, and Jim Carrey. There may be violent physical situations, such as pratfalls, or collisions, that are designed to provide much laughter.
Absurdist: Absurdism is a literary concept that expresses the profound meaningless of life. It often showcases irrationality, or nonsensical circumstances. Â Brilliant writers such as Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, and Edward Albee come to mind.
You will find an abundance of comedic material here and we invite you to use our material for auditions, acting workshops, and online uploads to showcase your talent.
