Grace Anne Helbig was born on September 27, 1985, in Woodbury, New Jersey, USA. She pursued her education at Ramapo College, graduating summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in digital filmmaking, where she also formed a sketch comedy group called Baked Goods. Her early career also included improv classes at the Peoples Improv Theater in New York City and reaching the semi-finals of the 2005 Miss New Jersey USA beauty pageant. Her journey into online content creation began in 2007 with a daily vlog on her personal YouTube channel, which evolved into her hosting the web series ‘DailyGrace’ on My Damn Channel starting in April 2008. This series gathered a significant following, leading to its launch as a dedicated YouTube channel in 2010. By the end of 2013, the ‘DailyGrace’ channel had over 2.4 million subscribers and 211 million video views, establishing Helbig as a prominent internet personality.
In 2014, Helbig relaunched her personal YouTube channel, ‘it’sGrace,’ which quickly surpassed 3 million subscribers by 2016, demonstrating her continued influence in digital media. She expanded her career into acting, co-producing and starring in the feature films ‘Camp Takota’ (2014) and ‘Dirty 30’ (2016), as well as the TV mini-series ‘Electra Woman and Dyna Girl’ (2016). Her talent was recognized with a talk show on the E! television network, ‘The Grace Helbig Show’ (2015), which further showcased her comedic style to a broader audience. Helbig also became an author, releasing two comedic handbooks for Millennials: ‘Grace’s Guide: The Art of Pretending to Be a Grown-up’ (2014) and ‘Grace & Style: The Art of Pretending You Have It’ (2016), both becoming New York Times bestsellers.
Helbig has been a consistent presence in the digital and entertainment spheres, demonstrating adaptability and a commitment to comedy. She co-hosts the podcast ‘This Might Get Weird’ with Mamrie Hart and voices Cindy Bear in the Max animated series ‘Jellystone!’ (2021-2025). Her career has been marked by a transition from online content creation to mainstream media, including appearances in various television shows and films. Recently, in 2023, Helbig was diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer, which she publicly shared, and is now in remission. This experience led to her developing a new one-woman live comedy show, ‘Let Me Get This Off My Chest,’ which she performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and is now touring in North America, reflecting a new, more vulnerable comedic approach.
