Consuelo Dussauge Calzada (born January 11, 1969), more commonly known by her stage name Consuelo Duval, is a Mexican comedian and actress of film, television, theatre, and voice-over. She is known for her various comic characters such as the overbearingly abusive housewife Federica P. Luche from the sitcom La familia P. Luche, the dim-witted, cross-eyed receptionist Sisi, and the amiable, uncultured naca Nakaranda from La hora pico.
Duval was born in Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico, while her mother was visiting her grandmother. Her mother died in 1970 and she was raised by her father in Mexico City where they lived in the Unidad Habitacional Nonoalco-Tlatelolco. Duval has stated that her stage name is based on her paternal aunt, María Duval (María Dussauge Ortiz), a popular singer and actress.
Duval has appeared in many telenovelas, reality shows, and comedy programs since 1990. However, she has gained mainstream popularity in the sketch comedy television show La hora pico, co-starring Adrián Uribe, Miguel Galván, and Lorena de la Garza, where she portrays various comic characters such as Sisi, Nakaranda Estefanía Cacho Partida, La Cajera, Boatriz, Lahora (a parody of Laura Bozzo), among others. Duval had a recurring role as Damela Micha (a parody of Adela Micha) on El privilegio de mandar, produced by the same producers of La hora pico. The series' title is a pun on the title of a telenovela in which Duval appeared, El privilegio de amar. All of the aforementioned shows were produced by Carla Estrada.
