YouTube vet and actress Andrea Russett has signed to talent agency Abrams Artists, which reps a slew of digital creators within its alternative programming, digital media, licensing, and branding division.

Russett, who launched her channel more than a decade ago, has amassed 2.9 million subscribers in that time thanks to comedic vlogs like I Tried Cutting My Own Hair and Opening Stuff I Ordered While High. She has subsequently branched out into various acting and hosting projects. Russett appeared in the feature film Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates, and also starred in and produced Sickhouse — a horror film that aired on Snapchat. Russett also previously hosted and produced a talk show for Fullscreen

dubbed Apologies In Advance.
