Browse with filtersThis is a hand-picked collection of comedy monologues for actors in Ireland. Irish auditions — for The Lir Academy, the Gaiety School of Acting and Bow Street, as well as screen casting in Dublin — favour material with genuine emotional stakes and a strong sense of voice. A well-chosen contemporary piece in your own accent often lands harder than a borrowed one.
Comedy in the audition room is about commitment and specificity, not "being funny". Look for pieces with a clear status game or escalating problem, and play the stakes completely seriously — the laughs come from the character meaning every word. A monologue is your chance to show a panel exactly who you are with no one else to lean on, so clarity of intention from the first beat is everything.
For The Lir or the Gaiety School of Acting, lean into pieces with real specificity of place and relationship — work that shows you can inhabit a character rather than perform an idea of one.
Choosing the right piece
- ·Pick a monologue that sits inside your honest playing age and casting type.
- ·Time it against the brief — running over is one of the most common reasons strong actors get cut.
- ·Make a specific, active choice about who you are talking to and what you need from them.
- ·Have a contrasting piece ready so you can show range if the panel asks for more.
