Nikki Glaser

Nikki Glaser was just a freshman at the University of Kansas when she realized that she wanted to be a comedian. But having a decent 3-minute set at a Kansas City open mic wasn't enough to convince her parents that she could drop out. So for the next 4 years, she continued wasting her parents' money on a English degree she'd never use, all the while skipping class for stagetime wherever she could find it. By her senior year in 2006, Nikki was working regularly at local comedy clubs and just 2 months before graduation, she auditioned for Last Comic Standing 4 in Chicago. At the age of 21, she was one of 3 comedians chosen to move onto the semi-finals in Los Angeles where she stood out, not only as the youngest contestant, but as the comic with a shocking sense of humor that contradicted her wholesome girl-next-store looks. Since the show, Nikki has made Los Angeles her permanent home and continues writing, performing, and using her English degree (she's practically fluent) at comedy clubs and colleges across the country.
