A 2009 Golden Globe winner for her Best-Supporting-Actress performance in the stateside hit movie Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire, MoNique has received a British BAFTA nomination too for the same role; plus as we go to press she is amongst the 5 Oscar nominations (including Best Picture) the film has received!

A Def Comedy Jam alumni, this hour-long live stand-up performance of MoNiques comes from The Platinum Comedy Series (Dave Chappelle: Killing Em Softly) and superbly showcases the unique and engaging comedic style that brought her to the attention of producers from both Film and TV.

As well as her award-winning roles in Precious and Hairshow MoNique also appeared in the movie Soul Plane amongst others, and has made recent TV appearances on both Nip Tuck and Ugly Betty.

She currently hosts her own chat-show in the U.S. on BET.
