The One and Only… Mo’nique
Mo’Nique began her career in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, when she took to the stage for the first time on a dare from her brother and received a standing ovation. Encouraged by the overwhelming response, she began pursuing comedy as a profession. Her career began to skyrocket with performances on “Showtime at the Apollo,” HBO’s Russell Simmons “Def Comedy Jam,” “Apollo Comedy Hour,” HBO’s “Snaps,” Uptown Comedy Club, BET “Comic View” and The Montreal Comedy Festival.
Mo’Nique’s bold and sarcastic stand-up routine landed her a starring role in the hit stand-up comedy film “The Queens of Comedy,” which was released by Paramount Pictures and also aired on the Showtime Network. “The Queens of Comedy” also toured the country as a live comedy concert, which became a hit album, of the same title, and went on to earn a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Spoken Comedy Album.
During hiatus from The Parkers, Mo’Nique performs her stand-up routine in cities across the country. For her performance as Nikki Parker (in The Parkers), Mo’Nique won NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series, in 2001 and 2002.
She has also appeared in feature films including “3 Strikes,” with David Alan Grier and George Wallace II, John Singleton’s “Baby Boy” and opposite Vivica A. Fox in the Screen Gems production “Two Can Play That Game,” which earned her an NAACP Image Award Nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture.
Mo’Nique has become a role model for voluptuous women everywhere, proving that you don’t have to be a size 0 to be sexy and fabulous. Her musings on life are featured in her book titled Skinny Women are Evil! published by Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, due for release this spring. In addition, she has a signature fragrance making its debut at Christmas.

Hello Ms. Mo’nique,
I just want you to know, how very proud I am of you! You are beautiful inside and out.
I have a msg for you: “Stay Mo’nique” The Lord has given you favor becuase of your good heart and intentions. You will always prosper and everyone you help will suceed.
I watch everynight, I am amazed at the personal growth you have made. I applaud you for uplighting our brothers and sisters who are trying to get there and those who have experience.
There has never been an outlet for our people to get to know our entertainers such as yours.
Your weight loss and toning has been an inspiration to many.
Your hug at the end of the show each night brings so much comfort to those who have not been touched. The msg I receive is ‘love yourself’
I am 60 years old and hated going sleeveless even when I was a size 10. You have encouraged me to love my size 18=20 self to do so.
I am so happy you have a place for us to come and look at clothes for the full-figured woman.
My daughter had a birthday Saturday and was 42. I’ve been around and about in the corporate world, hung out with celebrities. You are the most ‘REAL”.
I look forward to seeing your dress everynight. You look magnificient.
I live iin Florida, but I must find a way to get to Atlanta and sit in your audience this year
because what you give from the tv screen is so live, vibrant, well, let’s just say your audience must be electrified.
Now, are these clothes your brand name?
May God always be with you in good health, unconditional love and prosperity.
