Hennessy Presents: Flame Monroe
Hennessy Presents: Flame Monroe
Comedienne, hostess, Emcee and Actor, Flame Monroe is an explosive and inspiring talent hailing from Chicago. Flame's introduction to audiences in the United States and abroad has been anything but traditional. With more than two decades honing the art of female impersonator in clubs starting in the Windy City and now across the country under her wig, the most challenging role has been that of single parent to three academically gifted and creative children; Flame describes it as AM Dad/PM Drag!
Flame's dynamic sense of style, flair, and storytelling earned her a featured spot in Tiffany Haddish Presents: They Ready stand-up comedy series on Netflix. Produced by Flame, Tiffany Haddish, Wanda Sykes and Page Hurwitz, the comedy special remains among the top streamed shows on Netflix since its premiere in August 2019 and her episode received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Director for a Variety series.
Flame has appeared on Russell Simmons' Def Comedy Jam on HBO and host D.L. Hughley, BET's Comic View with J.B Smoove, Cedric the Entertainer and Sommore and, most recently, the #1 rated syndicated urban radio show in the U.S., The Breakfast Club - Power 105.1, hosted by DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne tha God. The energetic, hilarious and informative half-hour comedy routine touches on all things Flame Monroe: her past, her politics, her family and how she shows no signs of slowing down in her stilettos.
