Monique Marvez
Monique Marvez is more than a stand-up comic — she’s a cultural translator, relationship whisperer, and comedic truth-teller whose career bridges decades, demographics, and media platforms. Born in Miami to a Cuban-Puerto Rican mother and Venezuelan father, her identity is a rich cocktail of Latin fire, American grit, and deeply human insight.
A veteran of the stage with the timing of a sniper and the warmth of a confessional friend, Marvez has carved out a niche that is uniquely hers: smart, sexy, and self-aware. Her comedy isn’t just entertainment — it’s excavation. Whether dissecting romance, aging, or cultural double standards, she delivers punchlines with surgical precision and a therapist’s intuition.
Her breakout came with Showtime’s Not Skinny, Not Blonde — a manifesto for anyone who’s ever felt “too much” or “not enough.” From there, she lit up screens in Snoop Dogg’s Bad Girls of Comedy, Latin Divas of Comedy, and her own Netflix and streaming specials. On radio, she held court on San Diego’s KFMB-AM and KFI-AM 640 in Los Angeles, proving her voice could carry without a spotlight.
But Marvez isn’t just funny — she’s fearless. As a writer for NBCUniversal, Disney, and Dick Wolf Productions, she honed her narrative skills behind the scenes, blending comedy with craft. She’s a rare hybrid: equally at home on a military base as in a black box theater, just as likely to reference Jung as she is Jennifer Lopez.
At heart, Monique is a truth-teller in heels — part motivational speaker, part misfit sage. Her humor doesn’t just hit; it heals.
