My Name is Mo'Nique

Monique, like the Sommore, used to have good jokes. Now she seems to have an act where it's all set up for a punch line that never really comes. Off the stage, she has had so much beef with so many peers that it makes you wonder where the issue is. I liked the beginning of the show where Monique tries to get the audience to understand how she came up and that her background is rooted in her not being school smart.

After that, there just was not enough good material to generate much laughter for our family. She really fought to get the money she deserves for this special so I expected more instead of just a well dressed victory lap.

If you like hearing curse words throughout the entire show OK, no comedy at all . I watched it and it was really bad. I would appreciate her atleast talking about world 🌎 news or issues or just comedy . What she's doing is straight hating on others or bad mouthing people and adding curse words everywhere and then what kills me is she then tries to act like she's so wholesome after just being vulgar for a entire hour. There's nothing funny about her Netflix Special ( and I was happy when she got it , because she complained about not having a special ) and boy was I disappointed 😢 the first five minutes grandma surely couldn't watch it . She opened up cursing . I love Luenelle , Somore , Wanda Sykes , Leslie love these ladies and they do real comedy . And I tried to give Monique the benefit of the doubt , but I have to say it She's NOT A COMEDIAN . Or let me say this she's not a comedian for me.

I mean, what can I say? There were a couple punch lines, but most of the funny stuff also left me wondering if I was supposed to laugh. This seemed more like she should've took this to therapy session but instead tried self medication in the form of just spilling it out on stage kind of approach. It was kind of disturbing to be a comedy special honestly. A comedy show that comes off as if she has a lot of trauma she still needs to deal with. This was a rant with sprinkles of jokes. I respect her for doing it that way as it probably allowed her to release a lot of years of sadness and anger, but for a comedy special it was awkwardly funny at best.

I absolutely love Monique and want to see her win. And continue to win. The cussing what a bit overkill. MF this and MF that ninja this and ninja that. It was over done to the point where I was focusing more on how much she was cussing than the actual punch lines. Some of the build up in her storytelling didn't hit like it should which was a little disappointing. I really wanted her to nail this one but it was quite there. I think she had great content but the lengthy build up to the punch line that didn't actually land made the whole thing a little off.

But I still love Monique and can't wait for more from her.

I just knew it would be a lousy show, but I gave it a shot anyway. I was only able to stick it out for about twenty minutes and then I had to shut it off. Apparently Mo'Nique still thinks that excessive profanity makes her funny. Throw in a few more F-bombs and a few of everything else while you're at it, why don't you.

Where was the humor? And the people who are saying that they laughed the entire time, you make me want to do Stand-up comedy as well. Hey, if I can get a bunch of you to sit in a club while I do a set, I'd become a big hit in no time. I'm sorry but she was not funny. She and Chris Rock should get together 'cause his show sucked too! They should hire Wanda Sykes as a comedy coach.
