独角戏（英语：Monologue）是指单人直接面对观众的演说式的幽默表演形式。一个公开的独角戏通常是现场喜剧（暂译自Stand Up Comedy）的一个环节，正如「今夜秀」开场那样。

在一个独角戏里，演员是不能单枪匹马的。当然后援团（戏院或电影里的）是不会说话的。当演员单枪匹马时，思想或许很尖锐，但这是自言自语，不是独口。

独角戏独立构成一种艺术形式，但是通常附属于一个大一点，以对话为基础的节目，起到提供事物与观众发生关系的另外一个角度并用以剖析一个事物的本质的作用。

In theatre, a monologue (from Greek μονόλογος from μόνος mónos, "alone, solitary" and λόγος lógos, "speech") is a speech presented by a single character, most often to express their mental thoughts aloud, though sometimes also to directly address another character or the audience. Monologues are common across the range of dramatic media (plays, films, etc.), as well as in non-dramatic media such as poetry. Monologues share much in common with several other literary devices including soliloquies, apostrophes, and aside. There are, however, distinctions between each of these devices.
