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.

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.
