Gabrielle Jeanette Hanna (born February 7, 1991),[3] better known as The Gabbie Show, is an American vlogger and web-based comedian.[4] She is best known for her YouTube channel, where she makes comedic vlogs.
Life
Hanna was born and raised in New Castle, Pennsylvania. She has six siblings and comes from parents of Lebanese, French, and Polish descent. She graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in psychology and a minor in economics.[3]
Career
Hanna began her career on the social networking platform Vine after graduating from college whilst working as a waitress. She claims her pseudonym "The Gabbie Show", obtained at a young age, was a nickname given when she was being "obnoxious". She later began to film herself in front of a mirror now portrayed as "The Gabbie Show".[3] Shortly after moving to Los Angeles, fellow Vine personality Jessie Smiles taught her how to use the service. She also claims to have started using Vine after comedian Bo Burnham shared one of his Vines on his Twitter account.[5] Starting on Vine, she collaborated with many of its popular creators within the network such as David Dobrik, Alex James, and Jessie Smiles. Shortly after her rise to fame on Vine, she began a YouTube channel titled "The Gabbie Show", contributing of anecdotes about her personal life and the events that happen within it ("story times"). In one of Gabbie's story time videos she spoke about briefly dating a television actor whom she didn't name, Gabbie's fans rumoured the actor to be Desmond Harrington and in a later video Gabbie confirmed this. She has collaborated with some of the more renown YouTube personalities in the past, such as Lilly Singh, Liza Koshy, David Dobrik, Joey Graceffa, D-Trix, Ricky Dillon, Grace Helbig, Jason Nash, Shane Dawson and Colleen Ballinger (whom also portrays herself as a fictitious character named Miranda Sings).
In 2015, as an advocate for youth smoking prevention, Hanna participated in a 100-stop tour for Truth,[4] a national campaign aimed at curbing youth smoking in the United States.
On November 30, 2016, Hanna began a twenty-city lip sync battle-themed tour called "Drop the Mic", which was hosted by Chachi Gonzales and featured Jack Baran, Ricky Dillon, and Andrew Lowe.[6][7]
