After she parted ways with the series, she found a new wave of success as a standup comic.
Turns out, her path wasn’t as straightforward as it may seem.
This is the stunning transformation of Hannah Berner.
As crazy as it sounds, this actually made the comedian late to the game.
“I cried that whole day.
She eventually relocated to Florida to further her training.
“I was playing six hours a day, at least an hour training in the gym afterward.
By 16, I was ranked in the top 250 in the world for under-18.”
She received push-back from other teams and their players, who could not handle losing to a girl.
“It was crazy, I remember the Daily News and New York Times coming to cover our matches.
I remember getting so nervous about that,” she said in an interview withNew York Tennis Magazine.
“I was recruited there for tennis.
And my dad loved Wisconsin’s basketball team because we’re kind of a basketball family.
“I just felt in my gut.”
Berner was ranked number one in singles and doubles for a large chunk of her time at Wisconsin.
“I really had an identity crisis,” she told theLos Angeles Times.
Her first stop was in sales, which the comedian found neither interesting nor creative enough for her.
But ignorance is bliss,” Berner toldVariety.
She has since done multiple tours, including her first headlining one “The Housebroken Tour” in 2021.
However,“Summer House” Season 5saw Berner framed as the antagonist and turned fans against her.
And with that, she was not a part of"Summer House” Season 6.
The series aired for only one season; 52 episodes were produced.
Because of quarantine, the whole series took place on Zoom, with each co-host filming from home.
Berner who appeared in 42 episodes was one of four Bravo stars tapped to co-host the series.
The pod was launched in 2018, a year before her “Summer House” debut.
Bishop also happens to be a comedian, and Berner enlisted him as her co-host.
“It changed my life,” she admitted toEllein 2024.
As of August 2024, Berner has roughly 2.9 million followers on TikTok and 1.3 million Instagram followers.
“Now, TikTok I use as my open mic.
I just think of a bit and give a shot to come up with a punchline and post it.
Berner taped her Netflix special, entitled “We Ride at Dawn,” in Philadelphia in March 2024.
“I was, like, too calm until two weeks before the special.
I was like, ‘I got this.
I could do this with my eyes closed.’
“I have high expectations for myself and dealt with anxiety the week before.
It means you care.”
The comedian has a number of big aspirations, including things she has yet to try.
“I’ll be on stage and people will be like, where’s Paige?
And I’m like, guys she couldn’t come to St. Louis for no reason this weekend.
