Tame your “first heat” with Mona

Mona de Grenoble was frankly funny Thursday evening during the presentation of her first show as part of Zoofest, in Montreal.

The comedian managed to tame his first heat without problem, and this, despite the high ambient temperature which reigned in the very small room of the Sainte-Catherine Theater, filled to the maximum of its capacity for the occasion.

Arriving on stage on Provocante de Marjo, the drag queen, who has only been doing stand-up for a year and who was revealed to the general public during the second season of Next stand-up, delivered her first hour of material in front of a laughing crowd. With her caustic humor and her outspokenness, she easily knew how to extract the bursts of laughter from the public and keep them there throughout the evening.

Playing with ribaldness and insolence, the register of anecdotes of this "aunt at the party" was quite wide, ranging from "sausage fingers" who know how to change "tires", to coming out, passing by girls “who taste each other”, masculinity and its lifestyle. The public also delighted in it, only benefiting from a few moments of respite, here and there, to catch their breath, especially during the mise en abyme.

Skilled at flaying and playing with the crowd on the fly (“crowdwork”), la femme de cul(ture) – the cultural magazine she hosts on the web (Mona, femme de cul(ture)) – has moreover paid the head of several people in the audience at the start of the show.

Dressed in a patterned dress and her iconic little glasses on the tip of her nose, Mona was particularly effective in the improvised portions of her show, especially in her "crowdwork" and during the question box segment.

She will host the Bitchfest on Sunday, while her show My first heat will be presented again on July 19, 20 and 26 at the Sainte-Catherine Theater, still as part of Zoofest.
