Monique Marvez has never been known for being traditional.

Her preference for performing in non-traditional venues early in her career drew immediate comparisons to Bette Midler. Honing her skills in the coffeehouses and cabarets she felt was experiencing an artistic renaissance.

She has been seen in a showcase for an HBO Latino stand-up, which paved the way to the Montreal Comedy Festival. The Just For Laughs sets and riotous segments on the Real Sex series secured her exposure in the "A" clubs.

Monique has been a guest on Montel Williams, a spokesperson on Sexy vs. Sleazy on Talk Soup and the hostess of Penthouse Magazine's 25th anniversary special.
