The Methuen Book of Comic Monologues for Women

There are many monologue books on the market, but very few provide rich material for comedy. This collection from up-and-coming comedian and actress Katy Wix fills that gap and provides female performers with the kind of wonderfully warm and interesting characters that they need—and deserve.

A comedian and writer, Wix has, for the past few years, been writing audition speeches for students at drama schools including RADA, LAMDA, Drama Centre, and The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. A book of contemporary comedy monologues does not exist for today's actor, nor a book comprising solely of showcase speeches. The Methuen Book of Comic Monologues for Women is a collection of very funny and original audition speeches filling a significant gap in the market: made up of monologues for various age ranges, each with a running time of two to three minutes. The brevity in length makes these ideal for auditions or showcases, and the variety in age and style encompasses different comedic approaches; from the very quirky to the more traditional—perfect for every type of performer.
