If you still haven’t heard of Elyse Myers, remember her name because her future in comedy is looking bright. She’s one of the funniest people on Instagram and TikTok right now, with millions of people tuning in to watch her hilarious and extremely relatable viral clips.
Myers became a viral sensation after sharing a video where she recounted the worst date that she’s ever been on. Her recollection of a date at a Taco Ball with a man who convinced her to buy 100 hard-shell tacos immediately went viral and transformed her into an overnight sensation.
Before attracting 6.4 million followers on TikTok and 2.8 million more on Instagram, Myers used to work as a web developer and started her own web design firm Myers Web Development in 2018. She started exploring different creative endeavors once her videos blew up on social media and now runs her own podcast Funny Cuz It’s True.
Myers explores a wide range of different topics in her videos, including body image, ADHD, anxiety, and imposter syndrome, and she’s hoping they’ll help other people feel seen and accepted.
“My goal is to genuinely create content where people do see themselves in me and go, ‘I can do that too.’ I want people to be very generous with their kindness and with their words and just learn to love themselves and other people both through watching my content,” she told Vanity Fair.
