Blaire Erskine

Blaire Erskine was born on August 25, 1991, and raised on a sod farm in Ellaville, Georgia. She moved to Atlanta in 2011 to attend Georgia State University, where she began taking improv classes. Initially pursuing acting for two years, Erskine shifted her focus to writing. In 2017, she joined an all-women stand-up comedy class at The Punchline and started performing at open mics across Atlanta, building her foundation in live comedy prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Erskine gained widespread recognition in 2020 through her satirical Twitter videos. These videos often featured her impersonating wives and daughters of prominent right-wing political figures and various Trump-supporting characters. One of her first viral videos in July 2020 depicted the wife of a Florida man who refused to wear a mask in Costco. Another notable video, released in October 2020, showed her as a Trump supporter stranded after a rally in Omaha, Nebraska, which garnered attention from public figures like Michael Moore and Katie Couric, some of whom initially believed it was real. Her work during this period also extended to contributing writing for publications like “Reductress” and “The List.”

Her career progressed with significant milestones in late 2020 and 2021. In December 2020, Erskine signed with the talent agency ICM Partners. Following this, in 2021, she joined the writing staff of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”. She continued to produce viral parody videos, including those responding to a Facebook whistleblower in 2021 and electricity issues in Texas, further establishing her comedic voice and reach. Erskine also utilized her platform to raise $25,000 for Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff’s 2020 Georgia Senate campaigns, demonstrating the impact of her social media presence beyond comedy.
