(This is a series of monologues all about the same character, Randy.  Randy changes to different costumes or uses different props for each monologue.  Ideally Randy should roll in a very large trunk or suitcase or box with the costumes and props inside.  This can be opened away from the audience and give the actor a place to change.  Lights can come down between each change if desired.  Randy can go behind the trunk/suitcase/box between each monologue and change costumes and props)


(RANDY starts out in a t-shirt and sweatpants)


PART 1


RANDY
Did you ever want something so bad in your life that it consumes you?  You want it so bad that you can’t stop thinking about it.  Nothing can stop you. Nothing can stand in your way. You can’t rest until you have it.


Well, I’ve never felt that way… about anything. I mean I want to.  I want to care about something… anything... but I can’t seem to focus.  Nothing keeps my attention for very long.


It didn't really matter much to me before. I have been pretty happy. I got everything I need. (I got my shows and my games and my favorite snacks and my friends.)


But now my friends are finding other people... Female people... and they are changing. I mean things used to be great. We’d be gaming all night and eating pizza for dinner… And breakfast.  But now they are wanting to do things like laundry and dishes and expecting me to pay rent. It's getting to be a real drag.


But they do seem happy. Happier than when we beat the Yellow Devil in MegaMan.
And I wonder if I am not as happy as I thought I was. I am kind of lonely too.


I like girls but they don't like me. I end up trying to pick off the weak ones in the herd. I go for the girls nobody else wants. It’s because my friends always give me the leftovers. But I’m going to have the last laugh because one of them leftovers is pretty tasty. I met this amazing woman who didn’t realize how amazing she was. She is shy and hides under a hoody and thick glasses... but underneath all that is this girl who doesn’t think I’m dumb or ugly or lazy like everyone else. She thinks I’m funny and clever and creative. She sees the me I want to be.


So maybe it's time for a change.  Maybe it’s time to step up and be that man she thinks I am. I’ve been a boy long enough, played around long enough, been lazy long enough.  It’s time to grow up. It’s time to say goodbye to Neverland.

PART 2 - MOUTH TO MOUTH

(RANDY picks up some weights and tries exercising)

RANDY
How do you guys do this? Why do you do this? I have never felt this terrible before in my entire life. This is good for you? Are you sure? I think I am dying. All this exercise has to be harming me in some way.

I thought maybe the gym would be a good place to meet women. There’s lots of hot chicks here but I don't like the way they look at me… maybe they're worried about me... I don't feel so good... Maybe if I pass out one of them will feel sorry for me and give me mouth to mouth…

No. I need to focus. I need to focus on why I am here. I am here to improve myself… To make myself better. To make myself desirable for one woman… A wonderful woman I care deeply for.

You know that saying… love is blind? I never really understood that until I met Marianne. I love her and she’s blind… well, legally blind and wears these thick glasses. But somehow that makes it easier. I don't have to worry as much about what I look like.

Maybe it’s better she can’t really see me very well.  I don’t think most girls can get past what I really look like.  I mean I’m not ugly but I’m not a hunk either. I guess part of me worries that Marianne’s eyes will get better and she’ll see me for what I really am... A guy less good looking than other guys.

I worry that I will lose her... except I don't even really have her... we’ve talked... had coffee... shared some moments... more moments than I ever had before… but no kissing or touching really.  Except for the one time she touched me on the shoulder... it felt like lightening... I loved her touch. I haven't washed that spot since... I want to keep feeling her and never let that feeling go.

And I want more but I am afraid to ask until I am good enough... until I am worthy of her.

I want her to be proud to be seen by my side. I don’t want people to think she is with a loser because she is with a guy like me.

I want to be something different... something other people will like better than what I am now.

So here I go. Get ready for some exercising, because I'm ready to rumble.

Ow! Ow!

Never mind. I can't do this. I am definitely dying. Somebody please call 911.

PART 3 - THE CARE THEY NEED


(RANDY puts on a doctor’s white lab coat and a stethoscope)


RANDY
Maybe being a doctor would be something I would enjoy.  I decided to hang out at the hospital and observe.  I found a white coat and stethoscope and made my rounds.  People treat you differently when they think you’re a doctor… they look at you in a different way… like you’re important… they give you respect. I was liking this so I kept going back to the hospital.. But then I ran into someone waiting in the ER. They'd been waiting for hours and something was really wrong... but they were having trouble with their insurance. I blew up! Insurance!  Is this about money or about healing? I can't work for a place like this that doesn't put our patients first so I quit! And every patient who could stand in that waiting room stood up and clapped for me and that sick patient who asked for help was crying... and a nurse came out for her and put her hand on my arm and said “you have a good heart… we need more doctors like you.” Then I saw security coming and staff were pointing at me so I made my exit… it was nice being a doctor for a day or two and it was good knowing I helped at least one person get the care they needed.

PART 4 - THE ONLY MARIO


(Lights can go down or RANDY can hide behind the suitcase/case/trunk.  He removed the doctor coat and stethoscope - Music can be used if desired - Lights come up and RANDY has on a MARIO costume - he is at a comic book convention.  The costume can be as simple as a hat and mustache)


RANDY
This girl I like is going to be at this video game comic convention thing and I decided to go too, hoping maybe I would bump into her. I wanted to show her I was really into these things so I dressed up like my favorite video game character. It was this or Zelda but if I dressed up like Zelda she might get the wrong idea. And Link wears tights and looks like a Merry Man from Robin Hood which is a bit too merry for me. So I chose something more manly. Mario has facial hair and he’s a plumber. What's more manly than a plumber?  Hey baby… wanna see my plumbers crack? What a great pickup line!  Well… At least I thought it was a good pickup line. I decided to give it a try just for fun. There was one of them cosplay babes dressed as Harley Quinn. Not only did she not like my pickup line but her boyfriend who was dressed as Joker didn't like it either.  I hope that gun he had wasn’t real… I'm hiding now.  I hope I am not the only Mario here… Aaaah! They spotted me… please don't tell them where I am.

(RANDY hides behind his box - lights can go down - When lights come up , he comes up with nothing on and is behind the box/suitcase/trunk. Randy appears to be naked to the audience)


RANDY
Very funny.  Taking my costume and leaving me naked for everyone to see. - you’re hilarious!  Well, the jokes on you.  My cosplay costume is Adam from the Bible.  That’s right everyone. I’m about to do an original sin…!


It’s hard to look cool when you have nothing on.  Being naked… you see yourself differently… you see everything a lot differently… Just when things couldn't get any worse… it’s her, the woman I loved, the woman I doing all this for… she’s here… she’s coming this way!  I wanted her to see me in the best possible way. Instead she sees the worst of me. But she isn't looking away… she isn’t laughing… she isn't facebooking, snapchatting or instagramming my lowest moment to the world like everyone else here.  She wants to help and breaks the nearest person’s phone that is pointed at me… and she gives me part of her super girl costume. She gives me her cape and proves me to me that she is the most superset girl I have ever known. She is my hero.

PART 6 - MY FUTURE


(Puts on shirt, Jacket and tie during following)


RANDY


Things are different now.  It took falling to my lowest moment that gave a chance to lift myself up.  When you’re down, you get a whole new look at things. You realize that when you’re on the bottom, there’s nowhere to go but up.  So it’s time to pick myself up and do something different.


It’s time to say goodbye to Neverland and hello to my future. I am applying for jobs and I got an interview now and everything is ready… I think. We'll sort of. See, I don't have much experience so this is what I say on my resume.


Objective…. “I want to leave the world a happier place than when I was born into it”…. I think that’s why I joke around a lot. I just want to make people happy.


Education… I just say “yes”… I leave that one to the imagination.


Experience… “They say you learn from your mistakes.  And I’ve made a lot of mistakes. But I’m done doing things wrong. I figure I have done so many things wrong, that there are only right options now so I’m ready to do good….” Or should that say gooder?  


That takes me to my “Skills.” “Funny and loyal… I’m always there whether you want me or not. And I seem to make everyone laugh even when I’m not trying to be funny.”


References… “my mom and my friends. I have devoted most of my time to being a good son and a good friend.” And I hope to add my girlfriend to the list. I mean I hope she wants to be my girlfriend, because I want to be a good boyfriend and be worthy of a reference.


Looking back at this, it looks like I’m applying to be a circus or rodeo clown. That would be so awesome!  Hey, I can dream. And what are we without dreams anyway?

"A ditzy kleptomaniac, a scandalous movie star and a bumbling guard...these are just some of the crazy characters you'll meet in D.M. Larson's "Somebody Famous". This laugh out loud comedy is sure to make you hoot and howl as 5 prisoners at an all female prison use theater to hatch a plan to escape to freedom." (description courtesy of R.E.P. of Orlando, FL)

Here are some NEW FREE MONOLOGUES for actors adapted from the play:

Radiant Talent monologue from published stage play comedy Somebody Famous

“RADIANT TALENT”
by D. M. Larson

BRENDA
That local theatre reviewer is an idiot. He wouldn’t know a play if a stage fell on him.

(Looks at review in newspaper)

Wait. This review is really good.

(Reads)

“Brenda Star lives up to her name. Her radiant talent brightens this otherwise ordinary play.”

(Takes paper)

This is so great! My agent will go nuts. We better go get a copy of the paper so I can show my agent. Wait a minute. This smells like a set up. Wasn’t that awfully good timing? Madame Mooch says I’m going to be famous and then this person comes in here and acts like I’m some new star.

(Pauses and listens to her friend)

You’re right. How could she fake that newspaper review? It’s a coincidence. That’s all.

(Cell phone rings)

Hello? Hi, Gina.

(To friend)

It’s my agent. I’ll bet she saw the review.

BRENDA (CONT.)

(To Phone)

Yeah, I read it.

(Pause)

Very good.

(Shocked)

What?

(Pause)

No way.

(Waves away friend who is trying to talk to her)

Shhhh.

(To phone)

Sorry, my friend is talking to me.

(Pause)

Yes, let’s do it.

(Looks around)

I hate to admit this, but I’m at some psychic reading place.

(Picks up brochure)

BRENDA (CONT.)

Madame Mooch…

(Pause)

You know her?

(To friend)

My agent’s been here.

(Pause)

Sure I’ll wait for her here.

(Hangs up phone)

You won’t believe this. Somebody is filming a movie in town and they saw my show last night. They want me to be in their movie. Gina said there are some big stars in it too. One of them had a scheduling conflict and can’t come. Gina’s sending the casting director over to see me now. They need somebody immediately and want me to do it.

(Stops)

This can’t be happening. Where is that Madame Money?  Come out, Madame! I want a word with you. I know how these stories go. Remember that story the Monkey’s Paw? At first, everything is great. You get everything you wish for, then the bottom drops out. Don’t be mad, Heather. I’m sorry. I have to admit there might be something beyond my comprehension going on here.

BRENDA (CONT.)

(Calls out)

Madame Mooch. I need a word with you. I wonder why she isn’t reappearing?

(Pulls out money)

I’m not speaking her language.

(Waves bill)

I have something green for you.
