ZACH MAMA · AKA “MONICA”
Seen the clips?
Start with Monica.
The viral “Monica” bit put Zach in front of 100M+ viewers. The live show is where the storytelling, crowd work and uncomfortable questions go further.
The guy behind the clip
He came to America for jazz.
Stand-up took over.
Zach moved from Paris to Philadelphia to study music, then built a comedy voice around the cultural collisions, language mistakes, relationships and awkward moments that came with figuring out America from the inside.
Why the live show works
Raw. Smart.
Seriously funny.
02
Crowd work with a point
Loose, curious and unpredictable without losing the story. The room becomes part of the set.
03
Musician timing
A jazz drummer before he was a comic, Zach brings rhythm, pauses and improvisation into the way he performs.

Who is Zach Mama?
A comic built on curiosity.
Zach Mama is a French-American stand-up comedian, jazz drummer and writer. His comedy turns race, relationships, language and self-deprecating awkwardness into stories that feel more like a conversation than a lecture. Offstage, he’s traveling through all 50 states while filming a self-funded documentary about the people who make a life in stand-up comedy.
