If your friends constantly deny your requests to visit the theatre in favour of watching sports, we have something to ease your plight. The Toronto Monologue Slam mixes the arts with fierce competition, challenging actors to recite an original or existing monologue in less than three minutes. Their presentation is evaluated, and the top three contestants move on to the Remix Round, where they must convincingly incorporate certain themes into their oration. The winner is crowned Heavy Weight Champ, presented with a title belt, and awarded $100, among other prizes.
