I recommend reading a bunch of monologues below and then just making a gut choice. I highly recommend reading or watching some of the writer’s work to get the nuance of that writer: a Neil Simon monologue is very different to a Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
In fact, we have to trust the playwright or screenwriter and just fully commit to the situation. Too many actors play up the comedy, trying to make a monologue funnier than it is. The key to comedy is to play the truth of the situation. If you have been asked to prepare a comedy monologue, don’t think that it has to be the funniest two minutes of your life. As you’ll see from some of the monologues on this list, some are simply just lighter in nature. Some are laugh out loud, but others are more subtle. It’s always tricky finding a great comedy monologue as let’s be honest, most comedy monologues aren’t exactly standup routines. Having a really great comedy piece will make you stand out and allow you to show off your range as an actor. I find actors always have great dramatic pieces on their casting profiles, or at auditions, but rarely have a great comic monologue.
