The Vagina?

He said about a minute long. The Vagina Monologues is a little over two hours performance time IIRC, and seem more like two years if you're actually forced to watch.

um.. in romeo and juliet the friar has some nice monolauges. and i mean nice... hamlet of course not only the ones hamlet says but you could try one of the ones that player one or player king have. voldtemont's are like a news report... yeah i would say shakespear. or pick up almost any play with an elizibeithen feel and you should find one

Yep.

Conan O'Brien's Commencement Speech to the Harvard Class of 2000

that was a great read

but it was a speech, and i wouldn't consider that a monologue......i am looking for a monologue that can showcase the speaker's acting abilities as well, not just his public speaking skills

I don't know-- Eddie Izzard's a good comedian with a lot of short bits in his performances. I don't know what you could do for a serious one, but that's what I'd recommend for a funny one.

You can find some transcripts for his shows here if you're interested--- http://www.auntiemomo.com/cakeordeath/fun.html

any other suggestions?

Ever see/hear Bob Newhart do his phone conversations, where you only see/hear him and not the other part of the conversation.

They're great. I like the one he had about the "discovery" of tobaco (sp?).

Might be good for the comedy bit.
