If you’re a faithful MBIP reader, then you know my friends, Amber and Joe. They’re fabulous friends, they are extremely supportive and they’ve really helped me when it comes to The Marty Monologues.
They’ve helped out so much, they’ve always worked the door, they came to the Chicago edition and not only worked the door at that theater, they helped arrange the after-party and chose the bar that we had it at.
In addition to that, they are the story editors for the show. They come to the MBIP World Headquarters and I perform the show for them and they tell me what they think works, what doesn’t and help me edit the show. This has been invaluable because you can’t do that yourself. Both Amber and Joe are great with this and I really appreciate all their help that they’ve given me for the show.
Below are some photos from the past and the most recent Marty Monologues rehearsal!

Marty Monologues: 2020
When the rotten pandemic blew into town, that shut The Marty Monologues down.
However, we got bored and in November we decided to do a Marty Monologues in Amber and Joe’s basement on November 22, 2020 for an audience of one.
Amber and Joe were the DJ’s for the evening and picked out the musical numbers for the show!
Amber was the announcer for the evening and here she is introducing me.
And here’s the start of the 2020 Marty Monologues, “I Wanna Be Sedated.”

Marty Monologues: 2025
After a five year break, we’re back with another edition of The Marty Monologues. This year’s show is called, “You’ve Got Jail” and it’s a trio of three tales from three jails.
We had the second rehearsal show last Saturday night and it went fantastic and Amber and Joe had some great ideas and edits.
