In 2015 Gilli decided it is time to start writing for herself. Her writing gave her massive success in the entertainment industry. "I even started writing dramas but they turned out to be funny - so I just focused on comedy," Apter said.
After she started writing for herself, she decided that the next logical step was to do stand up in places no one ever goes to. She followed her passion and today she is doing what she loves most.
Rian and the Scenic Drive team invited Apter to the studio to share more about her passion for comedy. 'I try to write dramas but they end up being funny,' Apter explained.
And of course, she had the team in stitches!
