"She continues to take the comedy world by storm setting a number of “firsts”-Huffington Post
I'm a stand-up comic who has hosted events from Beauty Pageants to Corporate Gigs to Private Dinners to Wedding Receptions. I can either be hired to do a 15 min to 1 hour routine or if you're looking for a G-PG Rated comedian to host your gig and add a lot of fun to it then I'm your girl.
I completely understand the needs of various events and customize my material accordingly to suit the sensibility of your audience. I'm a master CROWD WORKER! THEY CALL ME THE HAPPY MAKER! YOU GET LOOKS, SHARP WIT AND COMEDY LIKE NONE OTHER!
Having both worked with Mona on camera and on stage I can tell you that Mona is as funny as she is fearless. A naturally gifted performer, Mona brings to the stage wit and confidence that entertains and empowers. Whether hosting or headlining Mona's entertainment makes you laugh and think, two qualities that are worth their weight in gold. Go Mona Go! She's absolutely one to keep on your radar and a must for your next funny.
I was fortunate enough to book Mona for a fundraiser I set up in West Hollywood. It was a fundraiser for the AIDS/LIFECYCLE 2016. Mona's comedy set was beyond funny, and she also helped us raise more donations for us with her hilarious jokes and great emcee skills. We had a successful event and Mona was definitely a big part of that!
I brought a number of my crew members to her show and we all loved her act. We were reciting bits of her act on the car ride home. Can't wait to see more of her work!
Loved her show, she was smart and funny, and hey, pretty easy on the eyes.
Mona Sheikh is hysterical! Still thinking about her jokes and laughing inside. We just laughed continuously for the whole hour. While her show was rated R she doesn't go overboard with the foul language. She is so funny without being vulgar. She takes everyday topics which we can all relate to and just makes them seem hysterical. She also is able to relate to the audience in terms of life style and culture and seamlessly works them into the show. We had a large group of people and she kept everyone engaged for the whole hour. I highly recommend her.
Mona's comedy is pretty fantastic. Poignant looks at human behaviour, parents, dating and politics. Sometimes she drops something powerful and it takes you a few seconds to get it. But boy do you ever. I would love to see her again and again.
I saw Mona perform at two events. One was for the entrepreneurs and the other was a school fund raiser. Two different audience, yet Mona won the hearts of both groups. Mona's comedy is not formula oriented or cookie cutter. Her comedy routines are authentic and so natural. What I like the most about Mona Shaikh is that she, despite being an accomplished comedian, acts like a girl next door. She is easy to talk to, approachable, and makes you feel like she is your long lost friend who doesn't run out of things to talk about. And you don't have to say a word. Love Mona Shaikh's comedy.
Mona was an absolute pleasure to work with as well as a total hit with our guests. No offense to her audience, but she managed to turn an otherwise sterile, stuffy group of adults into a bunch of giggling school girls. Everyone had a blast at our event thanks to Mona - she really knows how to get a crowd going. Smart, witty, unexpected humour and a true professional when it comes to business. 360 degrees of YES.

Expect a great time when you hire me! My sharp wit and astute observation leaves the audience wanting more. A recent private dinner gig turned from a 30 min event to a 1 hr 20 min event due to a high demand from the audience!
GET READY FOR A FANTASTIC TIME! I love doing crowd work mixed with my material.
