Michelle Buteau was born on July 24, 1977, in Hamilton Township, New Jersey, to a Haitian father and a Jamaican mother. Her early ambition led her to Florida International University, where she studied television production with aspirations of becoming an entertainment reporter. Before finding her calling in comedy, Buteau worked as a local TV news producer in New York City. The catalyst for her career change came after the September 11 attacks in 2001, when she decided to pursue stand-up comedy, a pivot from her news coverage role.
Beginning her stand-up career in 2001, Buteau steadily built her reputation over five years before making her television debut on Comedy Central. Her distinctive comedic voice and storytelling ability earned her recognition, with Esquire magazine naming her one of ten comedians to watch in 2017. The following year, Buteau launched her podcast, ‘Late Night Whenever!’, which Time magazine cited as one of the best podcasts of 2018. She also showcased her talent on Netflix’s ‘The Comedy Lineup,’ featuring 15-minute stand-up sets from emerging comedians. Buteau expanded her acting portfolio with roles in films such as ‘Someone Great,’ ‘Isn’t It Romantic,’ and ‘Always Be My Maybe’ in 2019, alongside television appearances in ‘First Wives Club’ and ‘Tales of the City.’
In 2020, Buteau took on the role of host for the Netflix reality series ‘The Circle,’ further cementing her presence in popular culture. That same year, she released her debut book, ‘Survival of the Thickest,’ a collection of personal essays that was later adapted into a Netflix TV series in 2023, where she also stars as Mavis Beaumont. Her stand-up special, ‘Michelle Buteau: Welcome to Buteaupia,’ earned her a Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Comedy Special in 2021. More recently, she continued to expand her film credits with a prominent role in the 2024 film ‘Babes’ and lent her voice to the animated film ‘Fixed.’ Buteau continues to be an active force in entertainment, balancing her diverse career with her personal life, including her marriage to photographer Gijs van der Most in 2010 and their two children born via surrogacy in 2019.
