Pretty Vee’s Bold Leap: Gersh’s Moves Could Catapult Her to Hollywood

Comedy star Pretty Vee—real name Vena Excell—has announced a new agency partnership with Gersh, effective immediately. The deal will see her represented in all professional areas by the Los Angeles‑based firm.

The announcement comes as the performer prepares for a busy schedule that includes touring, television projects and ongoing brand collaborations.

Vee’s path to the spotlight began on Nick Cannon’s Wild ‘n Out and its spin‑off Women of Wild ’n Out, where she carved out a niche with her quick wit. Her growing presence on social media has now amassed more than six million followers, her resonance across diverse audiences.

In July, the comedian sold out her first one‑woman show, Sharoonnn Said It!, at Center Stage Theater in Atlanta, Georgia. The performance focused on the Jamaican‑inspired character Sharoonnn and showcased Vee’s blend of humor and cultural commentary.

She is also set to headline a national tour titled Pretty Vee Presents: Why Am I Like This?

## Background & Context

Beyond stand‑up, Vee has built a multifaceted brand as an actress, author, and entrepreneur. A graduate of the historically Black Saint Augustine’s University, she has hosted the BET Awards Pre‑Show for multiple years and created the digital series Vee’s House.

The series spotlights six distinct characters that reflect the humor, contradictions, and strength of women who shaped her.

Her creative output extends to television credits on BET, HBO Max, MTV and Netflix. In addition to performing, she has penned a mental‑health empowerment book, The Pretty Victory: 100‑Day Guide to Recenter Yourself and Find Your Purpose, released by Penguin Random House.

The book underscores her commitment to advocacy through the Pretty Victory initiative.

## What Happens Next

With Gersh now handling all aspects of her representation, Vee will have a dedicated team to navigate touring schedules, media appearances and brand deals. The agency’s focus includes securing new television and film roles while maintaining her existing partnerships with Coca‑Cola, Target, Walmart, McDonald’s, Puma and Fenty Beauty.

She remains represented by Jacqueline Uram at 400 Ventures for specific business interests, but the new arrangement signals a broader strategy to expand her influence beyond comedy.

The upcoming Pretty Vee Presents tour will launch in several U.S. cities later this year, offering fans a chance to experience her live performance across the country.

As Vee steps into this next chapter, fans and industry observers will watch how Gersh’s support translates into fresh opportunities. Her journey from television cast member to national tour headliner illustrates the growing reach of comedians who blend humor with advocacy.
