Quinta Brunson
Quinta Brunson (better known as Quinta B) parlayed her comedic observations about being a young black millennial into a successful career as a YouTube star. Born on December 21, 1989 in Philadelphia, PA, Brunson studied marketing at Temple University, where she first caught the comedy bug while performing at the school's comedy show, Temple Smash. After graduation, Brunson moved to Chicago where she took improv classes at Second City, and tried to break into the city's standup comedy circuit. In 2014, she created a character, "The Girl Who's Never Been on a Nice Date," for a stage bit at the Comedy Store, then shot it as a short sketch at the suggestion of a friend, and uploaded it to her Instagram account. The sketch went viral, and eventually landed Brunson a gig at Buzzfeed Motion Pictures. After creating a number of popular videos for the site, including "Real Things All Couples Do," "How to Get Out of the Friend Zone," and "Drinking: 20 vs. 25," Brunson launched her most ambitious project to date: the web series Broke (YouTube, 2016), about the misadventures of Brunson and her two male roommates (Maurice Williams and Paul Dupree) as they navigate living "first-world poor in Los Angeles." The series was a smash, and established Brunson as a creative comedic voice to be reckoned with.
