1. Fact Checker - Comedic Monologue
Excerpt: "I’m not the kind of guy who spends hundreds on a last minute flight back to New York, tears across town, then runs up six flights of stairs and knocks on my best friend’s girlfriend’s door in order to run off and elope with her based on one crazy, thoughtless, inexplicably romantic night."

And that can be a little...scary...I wanted to tell you something extremely important. But I choked. Big time. See, then it occurred to me: I should climb Everest. If I climb Everest, little things like this, they’ll be a cake walk." View full monologue. 3. Honey I'm a Leprechaun - Comedic Monologue Excerpt: "Why can't you accept I'm a leprechaun? ... Look at the facts. There's a salary freeze but I got a raise. The market took a beating, but my stocks are up. Housing values are in the toilet, just not our house. No people aren't lucky like that. How do you explain that rainbow in our back yard? Rainbows do not linger for a week in low humidity." View full monologue. 4. The 26 Year Old Bar Mitzvah Boy - Comedic Monologue Excerpt: "I've been thinking a lot about what you said that night. That I'm not ready, that I need to grow up, that I'm not a man, and you want a man. I've been thinking about it ... I think I figured out how to fix that issue. My bar-mitzvah - my transformation from boy to man at the age of 13. I don't think I got it right. What if I got bar mitzvahed again? What if I got re-bar mitzvahed?" View full monologue. 5. The Cheese Robber - Comedic Monologue Excerpt: "Keep your hands above the counter where I can see them. No one is going to die if you just keep calm and recommend superb cheeses."

1. Killing Chuck - Comedic Monologue
Excerpt: "I just fuckin’ killed Chuck. I think. I mean, he’s just laying out there. He's not moving. I don't think he's breathing.

I tell her I loved “Hope Floats.” Who knew those would be the magic words?" View full monologue. 2. Nice Catch Chuck - Comedic Monologue Excerpt: "Oh, dear, God in heaven. Please, please, please if you have any mercy, please just let me have her. Just one light touch, one little kiss. A smile, I’ll even take just a smile. Or a look. She hasn’t looked at me in a week."

Burger Addict - Comedic Monologue
Excerpt: "Hello, my name is Jay, and I'm a burger addict. Savory juicy patties on fluffy white buns fill my heart. Probably with grease. My doc quite his practice to follow his broadway dreams. He still sees a couple patients backstage during intermission. But you have to pay for and sit through his shows. He takes my vitals and sing diagnoses me. Well, Jay you've got (singing, to tune of the Rolling Stones “Angie”) "Angi, angina, its from the burgers I fear. With no spinach in your soul and no quinoa in your bowl, you can't say you're satisfied?" His lyrics floor me. I run out and don't stay for the second act. Next thing I know I'm at a gastropub slinging back angus sliders, and the barmaid is staring at me. “What?” I ask." View full monologue.

Indestructible Super Puppies - Comedic Monologue
Excerpt: "A young engineer named Rob addresses a panel of scientists and investors to appeal for funding for a critical project ...
You study the behavior of convicted murderers, right? How many of them tell you that they were cuddling with an adorable puppy when they snapped? None, right?
So why don’t we lock them away with puppies? Yes, there might be a risk they would kill the puppies. But what if those puppies couldn’t be killed? What if I told you I had a way to engineer a puppy for both optimal cuteness and indestructibility?
I know, it sounds like sci-fi, but it’s not." View full monologue.
