Dave Carley
10 minute monologue
1 man

Ralph gets up every night to drink a few secret beers in the garage, but his wife is convinced his night time bathroom visits are a symptom of prostate cancer. He was brave about seeing the doctor until he found out what the exam involves. Now, he hopes to joke his way through his fears. A touchy, yet important subject, in a humorous play.
