|
Please note -Shortened for my book - 30 Monologues Under 30 Seconds This monologue is Gender Neutral
This is the revised version under 30 seconds -original is below- first posted
All the monologues for this book have been timed - but your performance will determine the length. Usually between 30 seconds and one minute is acceptable for auditions preferring shorter monologues. Use a stopwatch for good results - video for even better. Good luck!

(The announcer comes onstage, waving at the audience.)
Wasn't that a fantastic act? Please, another well-deserved round of applause for Mildred and her dancing monkey!
(The announcer claps and encourages the audience to do the same.)
And now, for something completely different......and not Monty Python different, just plain old.....(searches for a word).......different......We proudly present......Danny Taylor performing his world famous........can we get a drum roll please?.......Danny Taylor and his..........(Loud ) .....Invisible monologue!
(The announcer stands aside and 'watches' the monologue, starting to laugh immediately, then getting slowly more hysterical until the announcer is on the floor twirling in a circle while laughing. Finally, the announcer gets up and indicates the 'performer')
Let's here it for the magnificent Danny!
(The announcer wipes eyes and waves as the 'performer' leaves. )
You see why we saved the best for last! That just gets better every time I see it! And thank you - you've been a wonderful audience......
(Exits, but looks back)
And you should have seen the rehearsals....they were amazing, too! You can catch the bloopers on youtube....!
(Exits. The end.)

For those carefully reading, you may see few changes - you're right! Only four words were removed from the original post (the last four to be specific) - because the real way you make this piece shorter is simply.....have a shorter 'invisible' monologue! that's right.....depending on the actor, and the time, you can adjust the length of 'Danny Taylor's' monologue to fit any situation.
