Florida’s Funniest Comedians: Monique Marvez & Dougie Almeida

Ready for a night of non-stop laughter? Join Florida’s funniest comedians, Monique Marvez and Dougie Almeida, as they bring the funny from across the Sunshine State with their hilarious show, FLORIDA’S FUNNIEST COMEDIANS, live at the Mizner Park Cultural Center!

MONIQUE MARVEZ – Monique’s unique use of on-point humor and her take-no-prisoners honesty, coupled with an unflagging positivity are keeping her in high demand! This versatile “Snoop Dogg to Disney” writer/performer now has three SHOWTIME specials: The Latin Divas of Comedy, Snoop Dogg Presents the Bad Girls of Comedy, and her own one-hour SHOWTIME special, Not Skinny Not Blonde. Her special brand of Aha! and HA! HA! has also lead to a productive collaboration with John Gray on the stage show of Mars/Venus LIVE! When she is not touring or writing, she is hard at work preparing for “The Monique Marvez Show” on LA’s venerable KFI AM 640 radio, which airs live every Saturday night from 8PM to 10PM PST. Monique’s one-hour special, Not Skinny Not Blonde is based on her soon to be published book and her critically-acclaimed one-woman stage show. DisneyToons Studios has also placed Monique amidst their writers, and a flurry of TV development meetings has ensued and continue! What’s next for Monique? When not typing away on her MAC (she has always written all of her own material), she continues to WOW audiences with her sharp stand-up and unique improvisation. Monique is grateful for ALL of the above, her family, friends and fans, and she is thoroughly enjoying the moment!

DOUGIE ALMEIDA – Hailing from Queens, New York, Dougie Almeida spent most of his adult life as a corporate presenter for one of the largest financial planning firms in the country. His specialty was taking lifeless insurance presentations and transforming them into works of comic art. In his spare time, he fought as an ISKA Heavyweight Muay Thai Kick boxer, retiring at 10-0 and earning the title “Always Dangerous.” So, what do you get when you cross an inventive corporate executive with a retired kick boxer? A stand-up comedian, of course!

Winner of Improv’s New Faces of Comedy and participant in various comedy festivals, like Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, Gilda’s Laugh Fest, SLO Comedy Festival, Laugh Your Asheville Comedy Fest, NOHO Comedy Fest, and Boston Comedy Festival. He was a semi-finalist in the Cleveland Comedy Festival 2013, Laughlin Laughfest 2014, and a finalist in the World Series of Comedy Main Event 2015.

Recently, Dougie appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on the segment, “Wall of America.” Prior to taking the stage, Dougie gauges his audience, reaches into his vault and prepares his onslaught of humor. Once on stage, he delivers blow after blow of hilarity, hitting the audience with punch line after punch line. His wit and stage presence is second to none. One thing is always certain – Dougie Almeida will KNOCK YOU OUT!
