Benoît Monin

My name is French and pronounced "Buh-NWA."

I am a stage actor and improviser in the San Francisco Bay Area, who has worked with Shotgun Players, Oakland Theater Project, We Players, Coastal Rep, Stanford Repertory Theater, Shelton Theater, Theater Rhinoceros, and many others. I am an associate member of La Lengua Teatro en Español, and I perform improvised theater with RagTag Improv and improv duo Chatterbox. I am also the narrator in Christof Laputka's award-winning science fiction podcast The Rapscallion Agency.

I was nominated in 2018 for Outstanding Performance in a Featured Role (TBA Awards), in 2019 for Best Featured Actor in a Play - Local (Broadway World SF Awards), and in 2025 for Best Ensemble in a Comedy (Bay Area Theater Critics Circle Awards).

I received my core training from BATS Improv, American Conservatory Theater (2014 Summer Training Congress), and Shakespeare & Co. (2017 Winter Intensive).

I am represented by JE Talent.
