What makes a male comedic monologue funny?

A male comedic monologue becomes funny for many of the same reasons as any good comedy. What determines the humor is what sort of comedy you enjoy performing.

• Here are 4 top reasons why a male comedic monologue works:

1. Exaggerated Machismo or Male Stereotypes

Exaggerated male stereotypes—such as being overly macho for a comedic monologue wherein a character is dramatically overplaying their self-assurance, can come off hysterical.

Example “Along Came Polly – Basketball Scene”: A guy who believes he’s an incredible basketball player, but is actually terrible.

2. Dark Humor

Comedy often arises from awkward or dangerous situations. Watching a male character fumble through a situation in the face of something that could potentially be frightening can also be used as comedy due to the tension of the monologue.

Example “True Romance – Sicilian Scene”: A man being sarcastic and sinister while in the face of a life-threatening situation.

3. Feeling Sorry for Oneself

Sometimes when a character feels sorry for themselves it can come off hilarious. The tragic-comedic feel can go a long way in terms of feeling hopeless. A person’s terrible situation can be serious to them, but can be funny looking from the outside.

Example “Raison D’etre”: A man telling his best friend why he believes he’s never had any luck.

Example #2 “Half of Nothing”: A guy who is about to be evicted from his apartment turns to the only friend he has that owes him enough money to survive.

4. Relatable (But Exaggerated) Everyday Struggles

Relationship humor in terms of one person trying to cope and deal with another can be very funny.

Example “There He Is”: A guy gets a new job only to find out his co-worker wants to be his best friend, and he can’t get rid of him.
