Anonymous asked you: Nikki Glaser, who are your comedy idols?
Amy Schumer, Dave Attell, Julia Louis Dreyfus
Anonymous asked you: Question for Nikki: What’s the weirdest place you ever did stand-up?
Two years into stand-up, I was booked to perform at a “Women in Cable” conference. I was so nervous that I got drunk on champagne and was “highly inappropriate for the event”.
Anonymous asked you: Nikki Glaser, which musician would you most like to see try stand-up?
Definitely none.
Anonymous asked you: Nikki Glaser: is there a bit that another comedian does that you wish was yours?
All the time. I envy the way Jim Gaffigan can dissect a subject so thoroughly until there are no more jokes on that subject left.
Anonymous asked you: Nikki, when and why did you decide to get into comedy?
My freshman year of college, people kept telling me I should be a comedian. I had never considered it before. So I started watching more of it. Then I discovered Sarah Silverman and Wendy Liebman, and I wanted IN. I did one show and called my dad right after and told him “I want to quit school and be a comedian.” I knew right away. Now I’m not so sure.
