Nikki Glaser Announces 2025 Australian & New Zealand Tour

Culture

28 Oct

The American comedian is performing stand-up gigs across both countries throughout July 2025.

US comedian Nikki Glaser is bringing her smash hit stand-up show Alive & Unwell to Australian and New Zealand shores.

The honest and open comedian known for her no-holds-barred style will perform six shows across Australia and New Zealand in July 2025.

Taking to Instagram to announce the tour, Glaser posted: “I finally get to perform in two of my all-time favourite countries! One I’ve never even been to, but I just know I’m going to be obsessed. Australia and New Zealand, I cannot WAIT to do these shows!!”

Glaser’s tour begins in New Zealand at Kiri Te Kanawa Theatre in Auckland on Thursday, July 17 before she crosses the ditch for a performance at Melbourne’s Plenary Theatre on Friday, July 18. She continues her run of Aussie dates at Sydney’s ICC Theatre on Saturday, July 19, Brisbane’s Convention & Exhibition Centre on Tuesday, July 22 and Adelaide’s Her Majesty’s Theatre on Thursday, July 24, before wrapping things up at Perth’s HPC on Friday, July 25.

Tickets for all six shows go on sale today, Monday, October 28 at 10:30am local time via TEG Dainty.

Nikki Glaser has been entertaining audiences with her brand of shockingly forthright comedy for close to two decades. Regularly selling out tours across North America, Glaser rose to worldwide prominence this year after her standout performance at the Tom Brady Roast.

Shortly after her acclaimed roast performance, Glaser dropped her second HBO comedy special Someday You’ll Die. Not only was the special a huge success, airing to critical acclaim, but it helped Glaser score the prestigious gig of hosting the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards in January 2025 before she embarks on her Australian and New Zealand tour.

Catch Nikki Glaser at Her Majesty’s Theatre on Thursday, July 24. Tickets on sale via TEG Dainty.
