Rosalee Mayeux

Rosalee Mayeux is a stand-up comedian, actress, former Ford model, and award-winning writer. A winner of Cedric the Entertainer and CBS’s Comedy Pays, she has appeared in more than 300 commercials, films, and television shows across ABC, NBC, CBS, and Nickelodeon.

Mayeux began her career as a high-fashion Ford model in New York and Paris before transitioning into acting and comedy. On screen, she is best known as Carla Parkett—the cult-classic love interest in The Lawnmower Man opposite Pierce Brosnan—the desk clerk in Blast from the Past, and the offbeat mom in Nickelodeon’s They Came from Outer Space. Her short film Coyote Nights earned the prestigious Columbine Writers Award at the 2005 Moondance International Film Festival.
While serving as an artist-in-residence in Quentin Tarantino’s commercial directing division, Mayeux faced a life-altering cancer diagnosis that forced her to reevaluate her path. She ultimately channeled the experience into stand-up, where her sharp, personal storytelling explores parenting, survival, and the recurring misadventures of modern romance.

Now a regular on the Los Angeles comedy circuit, she performs weekly at the city’s top clubs and headlines in Louisiana, with additional appearances in Las Vegas, Arizona, Florida, the North Carolina Comedy Festival, and B4UDie in Alaska. Her growing digital presence includes viral TikToks, her YouTube series Comedy Girls Road Trip, and Hometown Stories, inspired by her Louisiana upbringing.

Her debut comedy special, MODEL MOM (from Comedy Dynamics) is set to release on March 10th on various streaming platforms. The special touches on the real-life chaos of raising two boys in Los Angeles as a single mother while navigating everything from drug dealers to dating. She can also be seen as the hilarious mom in the indie film Love at First Spite, now streaming on Amazon Prime
