Mini Monolog
Monolog Writing Contest
We’ve all been on a forced hiatus but now it’s time to get back to work. ROUND TABLE has joined forces with Dobie Maxwell’s FUNNIER YOU to make the transition a little easier.
For this contest you will be asked to write a 6-8 joke mini-monolog on how this pandemic has affected your comedy or career or a combination of both.
Your monolog can focus on the lack of work, impact on material, being a road comic that is forced to stay home, or any other aspect you like.
We will be awarding 4 prizes:
The top 2 monologs will each receive $75 PLUS a Be Funny, Make Money Audio Course that retails for $47 (More information can be found at FunnierYou.com)
In addition, the 2 overall best jokes (may or may not come from the winning monologues) will each be given a check for $25.
And because we want everyone to have a chance to win. All qualifying participants who don’t win another prize will be entered in a random drawing for a $5 gift certificate to ROUND TABLE.
To help in this endeavor, we have a one-page Monolog Tip Sheet available—FREE of charge. To get your Tip Sheet, just email your request to us at info@comedywritersroom.com or send a SASE to us at RT, PO Box 786, Agoura Hills, CA 91376.
