Comedian Nikki Glaser coming to QC in October
By Robert King
Comedian Nikki Glaser is set to perform at Rhythm City Casino’s Event Center on Friday, Oct. 28, 2022 at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $40-$60, plus applicable online/phone ticketing fee (this fee is waived when tickets are purchased at The Market Gift Shop inside Rhythm City Casino Resort, 7077 Elmore Ave., Davenport). Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. May 20 HERE. There also are VIP packages available for $160, including a Tier 1 ticket to the show and Meet and Greet pass.
Glaser, 37, is billed as one of the funniest female voices in comedy today, says a Rhythm City release. 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.
Previously, Glaser was flexing her over-sharing muscle as the host of Comedy Central’s first live daily morning show, “You Up With Nikki Glaser” for SiriusXM, which ran from February 2018 to October 2020. Her Netflix comedy special, “Bangin’,” was released October 2019. It was the most watched Netflix special of the month and Vulture included it on their “10 Best Comedy Specials of 2019” year-end list.
In January 2020, she kicked off her nationwide comedy tour, “Bang It Out!”
Previously, Nikki hosted, co-created and executive produced the critically-acclaimed and daring comedic show, “Not Safe With Nikki Glaser,” for Comedy Central and “Nikki & Sara Live” for MTV. Nikki was a standout at the Comedy Central Roasts of Bruce Willis and Rob Lowe, and has had memorable film and television roles in Judd Apatow’s “Trainwreck,” NBC’s “AP Bio” and “”Inside Amy Schumer,” amongst others.
Glaser 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.
Her 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 on mic – 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, the Rhythm City release said.
