Monologue Lovers' Dark Secrets That Are Actually Hilarious
Edgar Allen Poe was no dummy. He knew what we like, and that is to be surprised out of our skins. Don't be afraid. Cross that line. Writers who won't go outside the box run the threat of being unsatisfied. Actors who don't like to step outside the box for fear of angering, can be unsatisfied actors. And there aren't many of those around. Most actors enjoy the ridiculous, the forbidden. And theater's "black comedy"-- for some, the utmost comical monologues, go to forbidden areas.

Be the sought after actor you want to be with the comical monologue that's right for you. Male or female, you want the attention you will get when you have found your vehicle for success in auditions. And if it's attention you want-- be different. Dare to shock and surprise. Whether suspenseful and spell binding, or just plain old extremely comical, your selection of a monologue will get you where you want to be. Talked about. Chosen for that part you want so severely.

As a writer, I always make my people before I write their stories. I find the story when I find the character. My closet is loadeded with files of my play-like people, but the ones who are the most intriguing, who have the best stories to mention to, who make the best comical monologues, are the ones who are shocking, the ones who dare to cross the line. We can not do that in real life, now can we? So we like to hear from the ones who can. Like Jose, my prohibited alien cook from California. His mommy was the most beautiful, though really inadequate girl in all of Mexico. Smart, too. It was she who covered him with piñatas loaded high in the back end of her pick-up truck-- all the means to the border. Or Dixie. She did not like the men her mommy picked after her father left them and went to the mountains. When they called her "girlie", she got all tingly and did bad things ... or Leon. She's a woman they swiped, but they call her Leon anyway after their boy-child that died. Now she's a part of their grave-robbing family.

There was a day when we shouldn't laugh about anything that upset, anxious or stunned us ... things like death and corpses and eyeballs of the dead and "bones needed" for sale. But that day is gone. It's called "comic relief" and a black comedy monologue is a comical monologue when you don't merely walk up to the line. You have to go over it. Be comical and daring with the ridiculous. For the black comedy fans, shock 'em! They will enjoy it and you will have such fun doing it. You've heard the expression, JUST DO IT.
