Introduction<br />
I know how it goes—because we have been there.<br />
You have an audition. One where you are supposed to be<br />
funny. Really funny. They want you to actually make them<br />
laugh . . . in an audition. And you want to be funny, so funny you<br />
book the job, land the part, steal the show!<br />
But you have to have a comedic monologue, and everything<br />
you read is lame semiweird, and from 1983.<br />
And you don’t want that. You don’t want to look like an idiot<br />
with a bad monologue or a Flock of Seagulls haircut. Leave the<br />
past in the past and prepare for hip, fresh, and hilariously now.<br />
This book was conceived because I know a lot of funny<br />
people. People that make a living off of being funny. Let these<br />
funny people help you make a living off being funny yourself.<br />
Now’s the time to share the love and hilarity.<br />
Pick a monologue. Book that job. Steal the show. Make<br />
them laugh.<br />
And for goodness’ sake, don’t do a monologue that isn’t<br />
actually funny ever again.<br />
