Emmy® and GRAMMY® Award winner Tiffany Haddish has established herself as one of the most sought-after comedic actresses and performers worldwide. A prolific performer, she can currently be seen in Apple TV’s murder mystery series The Afterparty, opposite Dave Franco, Ben Schwartz and Ilana Glazer and the Nicolas Cage movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, opposite Pedro Pascal, Sharon Horgan and Ike Barinholtz. Other recent projects include starring opposite Oscar Isaac in Paul Schrader’s The Card Counter, hosting the talk show Friday Night Vibes and starring in Bad Trip, alongside Eric Andre and Lil Rel Howery. Haddish is perhaps best known for her breakout role in the comedy Girls Trip, where she played the scene-stealing Dina alongside Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, and Regina Hall. Haddish served as host and executive producer of the Emmy®-nominated stand-up comedy series Tiffany Haddish Presents: They Ready, and has had two comedy specials: her 2019 Emmy®-nominated and GRAMMY® -winning Tiffany Haddish: Black Mitzvah, and 2017’s Tiffany Haddish: She Ready! From the Hood to Hollywood. Haddish has written a best-selling memoir, The Last Black Unicorn (2018) – and was nominated for a Grammy for the audiobook version – a picture book, Layla, The Last Black Unicorn (the first of three children’s books) and collection of essays, I Curse You with Joy. Haddish’s journey and life experiences have inspired her comedy and sense of humor both on and off the stage. Haddish recently founded the She Ready Foundation to help and support foster kids in need. In 2021, the She Ready Foundation launched an Internship Program with Ready to Succeed for foster youth in the SoCal area. She currently lives in Los Angeles. (Photo via Lara Solanki / Netflix.)
