Ayo Edebiri is a rising star after her portrayal of Sydney Adamu in The Bear - winning individual awards at the Emmys, Golden Globes, and Screen Actors Guild.

The show helped Edebiri break Hollywood starring in Theater Camp, Bottoms and this summer’s box office hit Inside Out 2 as ‘Envy’.

But this success didn’t come overnight - it took years of finessing her craft. First in stand-up and skits on Comedy Central alongside Rachel Sennott; then writing for shows including Big Mouth, Dickinson and What We Do in the Shadows; before acting in Abbott Elementary, Black Mirror and Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
