Abbey Robertson has joined Apostle Management, the management division of Denis Leary and Jim Serpico’s production company Apostle. Robertson, who was a manager at The Collective, joins George Heller in Apostle’s Los Angeles office. Prior to that, she was the co-founder with Melody Hammer of Adept Entertainment, a management and production company. Robertson’s focus will be on creating crossover opportunities for Apostle’s stable of actors, comedians and stand-ups, which includes Robert Kelly, Louis Katz, Nate Bargatze and Erin Foley. “Abbey has a great eye for talent and is well respected in the community,” Serpico said. Apostle’s TV division is posting new IFC series Maron, which will debut May 3, and recently finished half-hour USA pilot Sirens, co-written by Leary.

I saw a trailer for Maron and it looks so cheaply done.
Very smart move by Leary and Serpico.
Go Abbey!!!
Congrats Abs– great news comedy peeps
Abbey deftly combines her charm and street smarts with impeccable taste. She is completely immersed in the comedy world; I really don’t know anybody more well-versed in it. High-powered agents come to HER when they want the scoop on any number of comedians. Needless to say, they trust her opinion. She’s certainly on her way to completely reinventing the comedy business.
Very Cool. Great Manager. Great company! Collectively, I think they will work well together!
Great move for Abbey, she is smart and has very good taste. Good luck.
Abbey is the best!
Congrats Abbey!
Many people are benefiting from the Collective departures.
Congrats to an awesome person and a great manager. Happy for you Abbey!
I’ve never heard of any of these people.
Congrats Abbey! I can say from the most personal experience that Abbey is a pleasure and a joy to work with and I know she will absolutely excel there
With Melody Hammer swept up to be an Executive Producer at Style Haul and Abbey over at Apostle, the ladies of Adept have certainly come a long way!
Is “swept up” code for “got fired”?
Abbey is fantastic. Apostle is lucky to have her. A great marriage.
Congrats. Abbey is great!
Both she and Melody are destined for great comedic futures. Congrats to advancement girls!
Truly one of the only managers I enjoy working with. Smart, proactive and always bringing something new to the table. It’s a great get for them.
Yaaaay Abbey! Great manager and taste. Bright future ahead of her. Another tragic loss for The Collective.
