Nikki Glaser: The Stunning Tour

About This Event

One of the most in-demand stand-ups working right now — post-Golden Globes, post-Tom Brady roast — booked for three straight nights at the Chicago Theatre instead of the usual one-and-done comedy stop. Modern dating and pop culture are the targets; nothing here is safe-for-work.

Glaser started doing stand-up in college at the University of Kansas and spent well over a decade building a real career — five televised specials, a Comedy Central series, regular roast appearances — well before most people outside comedy circles knew her name. The real breakthrough came in May 2024, when her set at Netflix's Roast of Tom Brady went viral for skewering both Brady and his divorce from Gisele Bündchen; she's called the Golden Globes hosting invite that followed the 'pinnacle' of her career so far. She went on to host both the 2025 and 2026 Golden Globes, becoming the first solo female host in the ceremony's history.

Worth knowing: no single showtime is listed since it runs three separate nights with its own schedule each — check the venue's own page for the exact date and time you want.
