Hi,

I'm Paul Lock and welcome to the home of World Wide Wit, the web's unique resource for one minute comedy monologues.

I got the idea for comedy-monologues.com after a 'friend' (you know the type - the kind that likes to see you making a fool of yourself, preferably on camera) bet me that I wouldn't get on stage and 'be funny'.

Ok, I had been a bit rude about the act we'd seen.

And ok, I had said that he was as sharp as a dead goldfish but really, some people are so sensitive.

Anyway, I got my comeuppance. Performing comedy isn't easy. Yes you need good scripts but you also need practice and technique.

So, having licked my wounds, I vowed to get even. I got online to see if I could find some comedy monologues to perform. But there was nothing in the entire virtual universe apart from some stuff written almost a century ago in Yorkshire.  It wasn't bad, just unintelligible to anyone living 25 miles outside of Yorkshire, England.

I then got together with my brother, who's a professional stand up, and he put me in touch with Off The Kerb, his agents.

And here we are - www.comedy-monologues.com, the home of World Wide Wit. That's our vision. We're here for anyone who likes reading, writing or performing comedy monologues.

The idea of this site is to create an online community of amateur comedians. A place where we can all share ideas, sketches, scripts, stories, jokes, tips and problems.

I hope you'll try our service or, if not, at least sign up for our free monthly laughletter. As a free bonus you get an hilarious download of Simon Evans performing at the world famous Comedy Store in London.

We'll be launching a Blog soon - it will be written by a professional comic and report on his daily trials, tribulations and observations.

Let us know what you think by writing to paul@comedy-monologues.com.

Cheers for now,

Paul
