Raised in Agoura Hills, California, Olivia Delaurentis started making her own comedy films and traveling for film festivals when she was 12 years old.  While still studying film at UCLA, she and her comedy partner and friend of twelve years, Syd Heller, started making sketches and launched their own YouTube Channel, creating their first web series, Sugar Babies.  Their comedy videos, specializing in fast-paced dialogue and subverting gender stereotypes with absurdist humor, have raised their profile to become a major comedy force on Tiktok.  (@sydandolivia).
