Not
only is Mo’Nique riding high on winning the Washington,
DC, Boston, Los Angeles and New York Film Critics' Awards, a SAG
Award and a Golden Globe Award, having
a top-rated late night talk show on BET and now
an Academy Award, the highest honor an actor
can achieve, but she is also readying herself to embark upon a
highly anticipated comedy tour—Spread
the Love Tour 2010. Joining Mo'Nique on
this year's Spread The Love Tour
will be her BET late night talk show counterpart comedian
and actor Rodney Perry, comedian Tone-
X, who will serve as the resident Man on the Street for the tour,
and DJ Ant. Fresh off her historic
Oscar win and becoming only the 5th African-American
woman in history to win an Academy Award, Mo’Nique
is wasting no time continuing to take the world by storm and tickling
funny bones all at the same time.
“On
this tour people can expect the kind of laughter that makes the
bottom of their stomach hurt,” said Mo’Nique. “And
the type of love you'll never forget."
As it makes its trek across the country, Mo'Nique’s
Spread the Love Tour will hit 20 cities during its run. The tour
will kick off in New Orleans, LA at UNO Lakefront Arena on Friday,
March 19th and will conclude in Bridgeport, Connecticut in May.
The show is
being presented across the country by AEG Live with tickets on
sale now in select cities. Tickets are available at aeglive.com/ticketmaster.com,
all Ticketmaster locations and at the respective venue's box offices.
The term triple threat
would be diminishing from the powerful range, the all consuming
presence and the undeniable talent and reach of Baltimore native
Mo'Nique. Whether she's spreading the love and empowering women
across the country through her outreach or making millions laugh
with her unapologetically, raw in your face comedic antics , Mo'Nique
continues to touch the masses with her keepin’ it real,
no holds barred persona and attitude. Her bold, brassy stand-up
routines, in your face humor and straight from the street stories
will leave you wanting more. What Mo'Nique will be bringing to
each city on the Spread the Love Tour will be no different--real,
raw, rowdy and riotous.
Mo'Nique's hard work
and dedication landed her own TV sitcom, "The Parkers,"
which ran for five seasons. She would also go on to host a number
of reality shows, including a beauty pageant for full-figured
women on Oxygen called "F.A.T. Chance ("Fabulous and
Thick")". It was evident that her success wouldn't stop
at comedy and TV; it would also be felt on the big screen too.
From movies like "The Queens of Comedy" and "Baby
Boy," to "Two Can Play That Game," and "Welcome
Home Roscoe Jenkins," Mo'Nique was signaling to the world
that she was here to stay. Most recently she took the world by
storm in her portrayal of the severely dysfunctional mom Mary
Jones in the award-winning, much talked about film, "Precious:
Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire", which just earned
her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, making her only
the fourth African-American female behind Hattie McDaniel, Whoopi
Goldberg and Jennifer Hudson to win the prestigious award in the
Best Supporting Actress category.
Moving from comedy
to drama and back again Academy Award Winning actress and comedienne
Mo'Nique can and does do it with the greatest of ease and elegance.
From tickling your funny bone to taking you to the edge of your
seat, the power contained within her performances every time she
hits the stage, any stage, is undeniable.
