Monica Davis (Charise) – Monica Davis is a Los Angeles native. She always dreamed of being a famous actress and comedian but early childhood chubbiness dissuaded her from her calling for years. It wasn’t until she graduated college that she pursued a career in entertainment. She interned for Comedy Central’s Development team and worked on the launch of the show, “Workaholics”. She even partied with the guys and broke Jaleel White’s couch in what her friends would call her “Did I do that moment?” Since recovered from the embarrassment, she’s been embarrassing herself in her romantic life which inspired her one-woman show, “The Monica Davis Show”. Monica hosted the show and then interviewed herself as several different characters; all representations of the many sides of her romantic self. By fragmenting herself in that way, she was able to honestly explore the chaos of her relationship and open herself to all the ugly, sad and hilarious parts of her past. She’s also writing and starring in the web series, “I Hate My Friends” about her job as a fitness instructor that will be released in the spring. Monica acted in the independent feature, ‘Savageland’ which is making its rounds in the festival circuit. She also performs regularly at the Comedy Store Hollywood and occasionally headlines at Flappers in Burbank.
