Hey, some of the best monologues are created by taking other people's parts out and combining things together. I find it very fun to cut monologues to fit a time length or transform a dialogue to a monologue, if I can pull it off. It just makes the work seem that much more your own, and it almost guarantees that if someone else does use the same monologue in an audition that it's not going to be the same cut.

And thanks again, ric. Good stand-up comics are definitely a joy. We have an improv troupe at my school that I've thought about joining if I'm not too busy. But they do stand-up as well.
