Reiter attributes her comedic voice to the YouTube and influencer culture of her generation.[13]
Career
[edit]Reiter began posting point-of-view style comedy skits on TikTok in 2019. By 2022, she had roughly 1.7 million TikTok followers, and by late 2023 her following had grown to over 2 million.[14] In June 2021, Reiter made an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, performing a stand-up routine about her childhood cartoon crushes as part of the show's Bananamore's segment.[15] In early 2022, Reiter debuted as one of the original cast members of the TikTok live sketch comedy show Stapleview; among their cast included Jane Wickline, a future Saturday Night Live castmate of Reiter.[9][16]
In late 2022, Reiter joined the core cast of actors to create daily short-form sketches under the banners American High Shorts and College Life.[14] Reiter co-wrote the song "Single in Fall" with Matt Bowen for American High.[17] In 2023, she made her film debut in First Time Female Director, a comedy film directed by Chelsea Peretti.[18] In late 2024, Reiter launched her podcast That's Enough with Grace Reiter.[19] That's Enough held a live podcast at Union Hall as part of the New York Comedy Festival in November 2025.[20]
In October 2025, she starred in the HBO series The Chair Company.[9] The following month, she directed and starred in a parody of The Hunger Games, titled The Hunger Games (but better).[6] Following its success, Reiter announced her new short film, Twilight (but better), a parody of Twilight, set to premiere in 2026. Reiter has also guest starred in several YouTube and brand collaborations, including with the comedy band On Company Time in their music videos "Frictionless Wipe"[21] and "Pop!

Running from July to October 2025 at the Orpheum Theatre, Reiter appeared in the Off-Broadway comedy Ginger Twinsies, a parody of the 1998 film The Parent Trap, starring as Chessy and several other comedic roles.[7][24]
