Mona de Grenoble is the stage name of Alexandre Aussant, a Canadian drag queen from Montreal, Quebec.[1] She is most noted as the winner of the third season of Big Brother Célébrités.[2]
Originally from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu,[1] Aussant performs in a camp drag style, with her performances based around stand-up comedy rather than dancing or lip syncing.[3]
In 2019 she launched Provocante, a biweekly stand-up comedy night at Cabaret Mado.[4] In 2022 she premiered Mes premières chaleurs, her first full-length solo comedy show, at Montreal's Zoofest festival for emerging comedians.[5]
On September 18, 2022, Mona de Grenoble, Barbada de Barbades and Rita Baga presented an award at the Prix Gémeaux ceremony, reading the nominees before bringing out Gisèle Lullaby, the third season winner of Canada's Drag Race, to announce the winner.[6] She has also been a regular contributor to Marie-Lyne Joncas's Noovo talk show Le Fabuleux printemps de Marie-Lyne.[7]
She was one of the contestants on season 2 of Le maître du jeu, the Quebec adaptation of the UK panel show Taskmaster.[8] She ended up winning the season.
