←Recommendations of THE MONOLOGUE

A hilarious and very fun monologue about "that" buddy that will have you rolling and is so honest. Fantastic!

This somehow captures everything awkward and ugly and breathtakingly stupid about those encounters that are almost never a good idea. I'm not sure if I should applaud Asher or sue him for preemptively talking me out of the next of those encounters. Either way, I'm glad I read it.

The frustration and the attraction is palpable and honest. I feel for the speaker, connect to the speaker and kinda wanna warn the speaker to run. Because once I was that person. Nicely done, Asher.

This piece is packed with so much truth about relationships -- even if they're just drive-by -- that applies to all of us, regardless of gender identity. Asher Wyndham has such a way of crafting this gem that you want it to go on. What a marvelous piece for an audition or a festival.

What a perfect monologue from the master monologist! Wyndam captures so much truth with such hilariously desperate specificity it's almost as if he's been in the mind of every FBuddy EVER! Absofrigginlutly wonderful.

What makes Asher's monologues so strong is their specificity. He uses everything at his disposal--the cold setting to mirror the previous ghosting, the specific clothing props that are removed as things heat up--to create a situation that can never be generic. Having been on both sides of this equation, I'm dying to see the counterpoint to this (but then Asher might end up with a play lol)! Well done!

This is the moment when the fuck buddy turns into a real emotional attachment, and it's so freaking exciting because I don't think the speaker even knows it yet, but I feel it - all that caring and investment - trickling and then oozing from the words Wyndham has crafted here, just enough to know they are in this (body and soul), and hopefully this will be the fuck of their lives coming with the realization that this is so much more when those eggs and the veggie mix arrive in the morning as requested.

Wyndham is a genius in cramming so many emotions and a clear character arc into short monologues. The anger, desire, humor, desperation, and, ultimately, power of this character are clearly defined, You can see them huddled in the freezing room, and, as each layer the ridiculous winter clothing comes off, so does each layer of insecurity.

Such a hilarious look at the insecurities of a chilly Fuck Buddy. Asher Wyndham shows us a world where two people who are cold and lonely try to claw at each other in search of... something.

This would be an incredible audition piece for the right play, and would be fantastic as a showcase. There is a great deal to play with. Enjoy!

Such a great monologue it makes me wish I could act! So much to play with! This is dramatic and hilarious and full of need and pathos. I get the whole picture, the cold apartment, the other character, all of it. Very. Well. Done.
