Disk Jockeys do indeed need a licence (and need to pay a fee for this licence) to play music which is copyrighted. If the DJ is playing at a club it will be the club that holds/pays the performance licence not the DJ. However if the DJ is setting up and playing music in public the DJ will need to purchase his/her own licence.

When music is played in pubic the artist who makes the music needs to be paid for their work!

You only need permission for your monologue if you're planning on using to make money. What I mean is that you can't use a monologue and perform it and make people pay for a ticket. You don't need permission to use a monologue for trying out for a play or movie though.
