The people have spoken. Comedian and content creator Ashby Florence has been named your Mashable 101 Fan Fave for 2026.
No stranger to this list, the 25-year-old influencer was one of our Rising Stars in 2025 after her send-up of legendary Dr. Seuss character The Lorax went viral. And rise she has.
In the year since she first appeared on our list, the LA-based influencer has added another 1 million TikTok followers, with an audience that now sits north of 2.5 million.

Florence first caught our attention when she tackled the #alexanderhamilton lip sync challenge, with her take on the founding father landing her on countless FYPs. It gave the performer her first real taste of internet fame and was a stepping stone into her now infamous impression of The Lorax.
She’s taken to TikTok live as The Lorax multiple times, donning a bright orange body suit and the character’s signature fuzzy eyebrows and mustache.
Her feed continues to entertain, blending Florence’s quirky comedy with genuine vocal skill (the girl’s got pipes) amid a smattering of sponsorships and vlog-style videos about daily life.
Recent posts include content collaborations with heavy hitters such as Keke Palmer, Dan Levy, and Trixie Mattel, plus frequent pop-ins from boyfriend (and often the man behind the camera) Benjamin Hunt.
