In 2023, Mona appeared as a contestant in season 2 of Le maître du jeu, the Quebec adaptation of UK panel show Taskmaster[8] and won the season.
In March 2024, Mona won the Discovery of the Year Award at the Gala Les Olivier.[9]
In November 2024, Mona launched a solo comedy tour titled "De la poudre aux yeux" in the province of Quebec, which is scheduled to run for two years. As of November 22, the show had sold over 25,000 tickets.[10] Canadian Newspaper, La Presse, reviewed the show and described the ending of the show as "one of the best five minutes of comedy in 2024."[11]
