About Tiffany Haddish
With multiple high-profile projects and buzzworthy appearances to her name, Tiffany Haddish has quickly established herself as one of the most sought-after comedic actresses and performers. Haddish is perhaps best known for her breakout role in the smash comedy Girls Trip, where she appeared as the scene-stealing “Dina” alongside Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah and Regina Hall.
She can currently be seen on the TBS comedy series The Last O.G., currently in production on its second season. She also stars in films Night School, The Oath, Nobody’s Fool, Limited Partners, The Temp, The Kitchen, The Lego Movie 2, and The Secret Life of Pets 2. She is a first-time Emmy Award Winner for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for hosting Saturday Night Live.
Haddish continues to tour the country and perform to sold-out crowds on her “She Ready” comedy tour. Her debut stand-up special, “Tiffany Haddish: She Ready! From the Hood to Hollywood,” was released on Showtime in August 2017.
Haddish’s journey and life experiences have inspired her comedy and sense of humor both on and off the stage. While growing up in foster care in South Central Los Angeles, her excessive talking and imaginary friends prompted her increasingly-flustered social worker to steer her into standup comedy by enrolling her in the Laugh Factory’s Comedy Camp, a place for at-risk and underprivileged children to transform negative energy into something positive. The experience became just the beginning of her comedy career.
