I'm screaming. What starts out as a silly, tongue-in-cheek monologue about rizz, evolves into a profound testament to unconditional love for oneself and the world around them; a lesson in consent; a poem about the people we love and why we love them; a healing journey; an invitation. New audition monologue alert(?) I'm a fan.

Quite a few people would be able to relate to the idea of not giving ourselves enough credit for the good things about ourselves. In this monologue Matthew explores this idea but listing the qualities in...well himself. You'd think from the title this would be a piece all about ego but it's far from it. Its wonderfully honest and presents the audience with a wonderful image of what it is to really look inside at your good qualities and then present them in a fabulously original. This could make a wonderfully powerful and funny performance with a great end!

As someone who struggles with not giving himself enough credit (as told by my partner who wishes I would see myself the way they see me), I understand this piece. It's not just funny, it is relatable on many, many levels.
