Jingle Bell Hater: A New Christmas Comedic Monologue
Okay, if you had fun playing Tootsie Frosted Cookie Stockings and you want to play another Christmas Elf with a ridiculous Christmas-Elf name, you’re in luck! Check out Fluffy McWaffles Tart’s monologue here, JINGLE BELL HATER, from my new one-act Christmas comedy, Grinching 101. In this monologue, Fluffy McWaffles Tart explains his reasoning for signing up for the Grinching 101 seminar: It has to do with those “saccharine-stevia-monk-fruit-sugar-free” jingle bells! And brownies. And eggnog. It all comes back to eggnog…
This monologue runs about 1.5 minutes, is suitable for any gender actor, child, teen (or adult playing a young elf). You can find the play, Grinching 101, from which it comes, here. Enjoy and excerpt below:

FLUFFY MCWAFFLES TART
The reason I’m here is… well… I was getting really sick of hearing the jingle bells go off every time I moved—like, every single time. You know? I take one step. I jingle. I lift a mug of hot cocoa to my lips and I jingle. I sneeze. I jingle. It’s like a signal to everyone around that I’m doing something. Anything. Does that sound bother anyone else? Well, I hate it.
(ELVES gasp)
And the last straw was this morning. I came out to the kitchen before anyone else woke up. I started to have some brownies and eggnog, but my mom comes in and sees I’m not eating breakfast food and scolds me! She says, “You’re going to spoil your appetite! You had better still eat all the candy canes I made for breakfast!”
(pause)

In this 30-40 minute Christmas comedy for 16+ actors, Grinch professors, Sourpuss Fuddy Duddy and Killjoy Cactus Snarl, are pleased to find their Grinching 101 classroom filled with eager elf-students desiring to learn the art of becoming a grinch. However, the class of bright-eyed cheerful students are blatantly failing. Every. Single. Lesson. Can these grinching professors get the class of chipper elves to learn anything about becoming a good grinch? And perhaps along the way, can the grinching professors can learn something from the elves?
