Building on the success of "Zen and the Art of Stand-Up Comedy", Jay Sankey brings his approach to the art of the monologue. With a blend of calm, sound advice combined and anarchic humour, Sankey explores the dangers of the monologue for, as he puts it, "the vain and the inexperienced", as well the freedom it offers the performer. This should be of interest to those attempting full-length monologues as well as shorter audition pieces or speeches.
