#monologue suggestions

[themonologuearchive]

Hello! I have a request that’s somehow both vague and specific, so I understand if you can’t come up with anything, but I do appreciate your help no matter what! I’m looking for a contemporary comedic monologue for a woman late teens-mid twenties. Ideally, the character is one who is naturalistic rather than goofy or over the top - something that can be played honestly, perhaps a bit awkwardly. Someone who is genuinely likeable. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I'm a guy auditioning for "She Kills Monsters" next week, and I'm a bit stuck on finding a monologue. The show's mostly comedic, kinda geeky humor (D&D plays a major role), and I was wondering if you have anything that might fit that niche. Thanks. :)

Hello! Audition monologues for a female role in A Midsummer Night's Dream?

Anything from another Shakespeare comedy. I would recommend a lesser-known one, like Comedy of Errors.

Hi! My school is putting on an actors showcase in which we perform in front of possible agents/managers/casting directors etc.. Do you know any good 90 seconds or less contemporary monologues that really show a lot of different ranges of emotions/turns? My usual go-to monologue is 'Night Luster' by Laura Harrington but I've been leaning towards trying something new. Any suggestions would be great, thank you!
