Hollywood is abuzz with the success of the hit Max comedy series, Hacks, and the breakout star Hannah Einbinder is grabbing attention for all the right reasons.
Einbinder, an American comedian, actress, and writer, has quickly risen to fame with her role in Hacks. Born in Los Angeles in 1995, she comes from a comedy pedigree as her mother, Laraine Newman, was a founding member of The Groundlings and a cast member of the original Saturday Night Live.
After studying broadcast journalism at Chapman University and making her TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Einbinder landed her breakout role in Hacks alongside Jean Smart.
The show has been a critical and commercial hit, earning several Emmy and Golden Globe nominations and wins. Einbinder plays the character Ava, a bisexual comedy writer, a representation she was thrilled to portray.
Apart from her successful acting career, Einbinder is also set to release an HBO stand-up special in June 2024, thanks to the visibility she gained from Hacks.
In her personal life, Einbinder is in a relationship with fellow comedian, Alex Edelman. Edelman, a stand-up comedian born in Boston, Massachusetts, has also made a name for himself in the comedy world with shows like Millennial and Just for Us.
The couple has largely kept their relationship private, making rare public appearances together. Despite their low-key approach, fans are eager to see more of this comedic power couple in action.
