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."

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.

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.

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.

1. Sleeping with Sleep - Comedic Monologue, Male
Excerpt: "Calling Mary Anne an early riser is an understatement. Before dawn breaks, she awakes and blares “Coffee, coffee, time to make the coffee." I pat her on the head, AKA snooze button, and plead “Five more minutes honey.” Sometimes I pretend I have work to do in the garage and I just lay under the car with my tools and let sweet sleep take me. Then she comes in, finds me asleep and starts to cry. Like sleep is another woman. Like she’s caught me sleeping with sleep." Read full monologue. 2. Unhandy Man - Comedic Monologue, Male Excerpt: "I come from a long line of apartment dwellers. When things like this happen we usually call the super. I know there is no super here, in our house. But why is that? I mean, why are house dwellers, sorry home owners, denied the luxury of a super? Oh, you want me to use a ... hammer? Because I’ve tried those. They do NOT work as advertised.

But what kind of idiot is jealous of a cat? Haha... one night, as Althea lay there caressing the kitty I found myself thinking “When was the last time she rubbed my belly like that?” I couldn’t sleep. I go into the living room and there’s the kitty. Laying atop our beautiful baby grand piano, licking its privates... it looks up ... a mocking look on its little kitty face....

I tell her I want her to be a big girl and she ... She says "Daddy, I can't ... I can't." I tell her to just be patient but she looks like she's about to cry and ... and then the first few tears start and that's when it hits me.
