Not exactly a monologues, but one of Stanley Holloway's quips that should be better known...

One night Holloway was leaving a theatre with Rex Harrison when an old lady asked Harrison to autograph her program.

Harrison, the soul of courtesy, told her to Sod of, whereupon the old lady rolled up her program and whacke Harrison over the head with it..

Holloway roared with laughter and remarked that this was probably the first time in theatre history that the fan has hit the shit.

[Madhatter1903]

Did that really happen or are you having us on?
