COMEDIAN NIKKI GLASER ADDS RICHMOND STOP TO

ALIVE AND UNWELL NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

 

Tickets On Sale Starting Friday, October 11 at 10AM Local

 

(October 8, 2024 – Richmond, VA) – Just announced – Emmy®-nominated comedian Nikki Glaser brings her Alive and Unwell Tour to Altria Theater in Richmond, VA, on Friday, April 25, 2025. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, October 11, at 10:00AM. Tickets can be purchased at altriatheater.com or etix.com.

 

Nikki Glaser has honed her shockingly honest, no-holds barred style for nearly two decades across sold-out tour, hit podcasts, and TV, solidifying herself as one of the funniest voices in comedy today. 

 

Following the success of her Critics Choice Award-nominated HBO standup special, GOOD CLEAN FILTH, and her HBO comedy special, SOMEDAY YOU’LL DIE, Glaser received her first Emmy® Award nomination in the category of “Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded).” In addition to setting the record for both the best premiere night for an HBO comedy special in more than two years and for the #1 largest streaming audience for a Comedy Special in HBO Max/Max history with SOMEDAY YOU’LL DIE, Glaser was also the undeniable standout on Netflix’s Emmy®-nominated THE GREATEST ROAST OF ALL TIME: TOM BRADY.

 

Her appearance on the Netflix roast of Tom Brady, which aired live and unedited on Netflix from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, earned her viral attention and reinstated her title as “the best roaster on the planet” according to INDIEWIRE. Previously, 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, earning her additional stellar reviews.

 

Glaser also had memorable film and television roles in Judd Apatow’s TRAINWRECK, NBC’s AP BIO and INSIDE AMY SCHUMER, amongst others. In November 2022 Nikki was a triumph coming in third place on the ninth season of the hit FOX series THE MASKED SINGER.

 

Currently, Nikki hosts and executive produces LOVERS AND LIARS (formerly FGIRL ISLAND), which premiered on the CW on April 11, 2024. LOVERS AND LIARS is the female spinoff of the hit HBO Max reality dating series FBOY ISLAND, which Nikki hosted and executive produced for three seasons. The Washington Post hailed FBOY ISLAND 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. 

 

Nikki 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.

 

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 for the laughs and as the empowering voice for women that she yearned for as a confused adolescent.

 

Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, October 11, at 10:00AM. Tickets will be available online at altriatheater.com, Etix.com, by phone at (800) 514-3849 via Etix, or in-person at the Altria Theater Box Office, located at 6 N. Laurel Street, open Monday-Friday, 10AM-2PM local.
