Comedy legend Mo’Nique will get the last laugh in more ways than one with her latest comedy special.
Tickets are currently on sale for Mo’Nique’s comedy special taping for Netflix called “My Name Is Mo’Nique,” which takes place on Oct. 29.

Not only has she secured a deal with Netflix for a comedy special, but she’ll also star in Lee Daniel’s Netflix film called “The Deliverance,” the first movie the two have worked on since “Precious.”
While this may be Mo’Nique’s first Netflix comedy special, she has been working non-stop with touring the country and doing shows. In 2019, she had her own Las Vegas comedy show residency.
That residency came shortly after she asked people to boycott Netflix in 2019.
The show takes place in Atlanta, Georgia at the Rialto Center.
