Nikki Glaser
Nikki Glaser
Comedy
Nikki Glaser is one of the funniest female voices in comedy today. For nearly two decades at clubs across the country, and as the host of three hit podcasts, Nikki has been honing her shockingly honest, no-holds barred style of comedy. Her daily show, THE NIKKI GLASER PODCAST, launched in March 2021 through iHeartMedia and Will Ferrell’s Big Money Players Network. It is a daily companion podcast that is peppered with Nikki’s sense of humor and honesty to help keep listeners sane, well-informed, and laughing through life. In July of 2022, she headlined her first HBO comedy special, GOOD CLEAN FILTH, which has been nominated for a Critics Choice Award for Best Comedy Special. Nikki is currently on her nationwide and international comedy tour, THE GOOD GIRL TOUR, which kicked off in January 2023.
Nikki is also the host and executive producer of the hit HBO Max reality dating series FBOY ISLAND. FBOY ISLAND follows three women on a tropical island where they’re joined by 24 men – 12 self-proclaimed “Nice Guys” looking for love and 12 self-proclaimed “FBoys,” there to compete for cold, hard cash. The Washington Post hailed the series as “deliciously twisty” and TIME called it a “compelling and clever masterpiece” with “smart execution” noting that, “An advisor to the women and a gentle antagonist to the FBoys, Glaser, a comedian, brings just the right level of self-aware humor.” Season one of FBOY ISLAND had the biggest premiere weekend for an HBO Max Original reality series since the platform’s launch. The second season premiered in July 2022.
Nikki recently took her love of reality TV to the next level by starring in, and executive producing, the
E! half-hour reality sitcom WELCOME HOME NIKKI GLASER? Uprooted from her fast-paced Hollywood lifestyle, Nikki returns to her hometown of St. Louis where she embarks on a hilarious and often uncomfortable journey of self-discovery. Unfiltered, relatable, and unapologetically herself, Nikki navigates friends, family, and romance as a homegrown local celebrity. Previously, Nikki 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. Nikki’s recent Netflix comedy special, BANGIN’, was released October 2019. BANGIN’ was the most watched specials on Netflix when it premiered. 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 Alec Baldwin, Bruce Willis, and Rob Lowe, which led to her guest-hosting JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! and hosting the inaugural edition of the 2021 MTV MOVIE & TV AWARDS: UNSCRIPTED, which earned her stellar reviews. She also had memorable film and television roles in Judd Apatow’s TRAINWRECK, NBC’s AP BIO and INSIDE AMY SCHUMER, amongst others. And in November of 2022 Nikki was a triumph coming in third place on the 9th season of the hit FOX series THE MASKED SINGER. 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. Nikki’s past and current struggles with anorexia, depression, and anxiety are fair game in both her stand-up, and in-depth interviews with THE HOWARD STERN SHOW, WTF with MARC MARON, CONAN O´BRIEN NEEDS A FRIEND
and THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE. 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 confused adolescent.

Eleanor J. Kerrigan is the latest in a long line of historically funny women who cut their teeth at the World Famous
Comedy Store. Starting out as a waitress there, Eleanorlearned the ropes of comedy, all the while making the best
comics in the country laugh, in the kitchen of the club. It would take several years and lots of pushing from one of her
biggest fans, Andrew Dice Clay, to finally get her to take her comedic talents to the stage. After co-starring with him in
“Dice Undisputed”, Dice invited Eleanor to go on the road with him to promote the show. “I’m an actress not a stand
up!” she replied. After seeing her one woman show, Andrew would no longer take no for an answer. “You’re hysterical and
everyone should know that!” he said, and Eleanor’s been performing stand up in clubs and theaters around the
country ever since. Her hilarious take on life comes from her unique experiences growing up street-savvy in South Philly,
as one of 10 children in a very Irish-Catholic family. She paints an uproarious portrait of her life experiences,
beginning with her childhood in a three bedroom row home and moving to her adventures as an adult living in L.A...
Eleanor’s shoot-from-the-hip take on life is both refreshing and exciting. She’s not afraid to give the audience a piece of
her mind and they love her for it. Eleanor is also a graduate of the esteemed Joanne Baron and D.W. Brown acting studio
in Santa Monica, California, following in the footsteps of acting greats such as Halley Berry and Patrick Dempsey.
She’s had audiences rolling as one of the motorcycle riding, pool cue wielding tag team called “Harley’s Angels” on UPN’s
“Women of Wrestling” and has made countless appearances on other major networks such as Nickelodeon, VH1, Howard
Stern & HBO’s Entourage. You can also catch Eleanor on the Blue Show on Showtime. Hear her share those crazy Comedy Store Stories as Co-host of the Comedy Store podcast. Eleanor Kerrigan is certainly one to watch & will be touring the country with her brazen brand of humor. Don’t miss her!
