Nikki Glaser is one of the funniest female voices in comedy today. For over a decade at clubs across the country, and as the host of three hit podcasts, she has been honing her shockingly- honest, no-holds barred style of comedy. Her brand new daily show, "The Nikki Glaser Podcast," launched March 2021 through iHeartMedia. It is a daily companion podcast that is peppered with Glaser's sense of humor and honesty to help keep listeners sane, well-informed and laughing through life.

Glaser was a standout at the Comedy Central Roasts of Alec Baldwin, Bruce Willis and Rob Lowe, and has had memorable film and television roles. Nikki has multiple stand-up specials and late-night TV appearances in which she jokes about her most humiliating moments as a woman in the modern world.

Glaser's past and current struggles with anorexia, depression, and anxiety are fair game in both her stand-up, and in in-depth interviews with the Howard Stern Show, WTF with Marc Maron and Joe Rogan.

She has become a complete open book — and not just for the laughs — she's also adamant on being the empowering voice for women that she yearned for as a young, confused, adolescent herself.
