Rachel Anne Sennott, born on September 19, 1995, in Simsbury, Connecticut, developed an early interest in comedy. She pursued her education in acting at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, graduating in 2017. During her college years, Sennott actively participated in open mic nights and appeared in student films, including the 2017 short film version of “Shiva Baby” in which she played the lead role of Danielle. Her early career also saw her engaging with Twitter comedy, where she frequently posted short jokes daily. This period established her unique comedic persona, characterized by an unfiltered style that resonated with New York City’s alt-comedy scene.

Her comedic talent further extended into writing and producing, co-developing two series for Comedy Central, “Ayo and Rachel Are Single” and “Taking the Stage,” with fellow comedian Ayo Edebiri, both premiering in 2020.
The year 2023 was pivotal for Sennott, as she co-wrote and starred in the satirical teen comedy “Bottoms” alongside Ayo Edebiri, which premiered to critical acclaim at SXSW and earned her an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Screenplay. She also starred in the tragicomedy “I Used to Be Funny” and took on a recurring role in the HBO drama series “The Idol.” Looking ahead, Sennott continues to expand her work in film and television, with projects like “Saturday Night” (2024), “Bunnylovr” (2025), and “Holland” (2025). Furthermore, her HBO comedy series, “I Love LA,” which she created, wrote, and executive produced, is set to premiere in 2025, solidifying her multifaceted career as a writer, actress, and producer.
