The Recumbent Posture
A comic monologue by Marriott Edgar
After having my prostate removed ten days ago, and consequently still rather tender “down below”, I find it comfortable to spend quite a lot of time lying on my back. This reminded me of a great comic monologue, one of many written by Marriott Edgar which I enjoyed in my youth. So to give me something to do, I recorded it!
More about the comic monologues on my website, and how I began to perform them.
