Life and career

Rowe was raised in Boise, Idaho. Inspired by the 2004 film Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen to pursue acting, she regularly performed in the Idaho Shakespeare Festival growing up. She moved from Idaho to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California School of Dramatic Arts, where she earned a BFA in acting in 2017. [2] [3] She worked as a hostess at a restaurant while auditioning for roles. She then started working as a personal chef after making flyers, on which she lied about attending culinary school, and putting them in mailboxes around Beverly Hills. [4] Rowe appeared in the 2020 short film The Wine as Cara. [5]

Starting in 2020, Rowe started posting comedy sketches—which she writes, performs in, and edits—on TikTok. [4] [6] Her first video on the platform to go viral was a comedy sketch in which she gave a monologue about rain from the perspective of the "absolutely insufferable female lead of an indie movie". [2] She continued to play this character in later videos that also went viral on the platform. [5] [7] Her videos typically feature cringe comedy and parodies of other media tropes, such as female characters written by men and Manic Pixie Dream Girls. [8] [9] She appeared in the 2023 film The List. [6] As of 2023, she is signed to United Talent Agency. [4]
