Monika Elmont

Big Hair with Lots of Flare

From LA to Seattle, and back to LA again, I'm a lil wildcat that packs a punch! My name is Monika Elmont (she/they). I am a Queer, Jewish and funky-fresh babe since birth who stuck out like a sore thumb in my hometown of Culver City AKA The Film City. 

At 16 years old, I came across the hit TV show “Whose Line Is It Anyways?”, caught the acting bug and left my near decade-long career in competitive dance. A classically-trained actor: I have a  BFA in Theater from Cornish College of the Arts, with a concentration in Original Works. 

I am a current Board Member with Rain City Projects, helping shine some light on Pacific Northwest Playwrights. I invite the difficult and hard work that goes into creating vulnerability in the stories artists share. The opportunity to be open and present is what the soul yearns for: the chance to access humanity. 

​

Since moving back to L.A. I Co-Founded the sketch comedy group 'It's Just Us and friends' where my friends and I, write, act, direct, edit, and post original content!
