I have been performing on-and-off for more than 9 years now. I did my first open show at Chester
Street in Champaign. Then, I won the contest to become the Chester Street cast members, beating some of the veterans in female
impersonations. Back then, I performed under the name Monique.
I took a couple of years off performing when I went back home to Malaysia.
I started performing again at Ruby's in Champaign after I got back to the United States. One night while visiting the bistro
in Bloomington, I was approached by the infamous Anita Mann. She offered an offer no one could resist: to be a member of
her glamourous House of Mann. She'd been looking for an Asian face to add to her family and had always thought the name Malaysia
Mann has a nice ring to it. What a coincidence! I am from Malaysia. Without hesitation, I became Malaysia Mann and turned
House of Mann into the International House of Mann.
