About this Event

Friday & Saturday, Nov. 27 + 28, Providence Comedy Underground welcomes Liz Glazer, an award-winning standup comedian, actor, and writer known for her smart, personal, and hilariously honest comedy. Liz’s new comedy special is now streaming on YouTube. She has appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Don’t Tell Comedy, Nate Bargatze’s The Showcase and has opened for renowned comedians including Maria Bamford, Judy Gold, and Myq Kaplan.

Liz won first place in both the Boston Comedy Festival and the Ladies of Laughter Competition, and was featured in a full-length profile in The Wall Street Journal. Her work has also been covered by Above the Law, The Jewish Standard, The Pennsylvania Gazette, and other publications. She’s performed at comedy festivals including the Laughing Skull, Big Pine, Seattle International, Rogue Island, and others.

As an actor, Liz has appeared on ABC’s For Life and CBS’s BULL. She is also on the faculty at Lesly Kahn & Co., a prestigious acting studio in Los Angeles. Currently, Liz is developing a television pilot based on her life—the script for which was a semi-finalist in the Stage 32 writing competition.

Before comedy, Liz was a tenured law professor. She earned her B.A. magna cum laude and M.A. in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania in just four years, then attended the University of Chicago Law School, where she served on the Law Review. She practiced as a transactional real estate attorney at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP in New York, and later earned tenure at Hofstra Law School. She also held visiting positions at Northwestern and Loyola Chicago law schools. Liz has published legal scholarship in leading journals including the Georgetown Law Journal, Harvard Journal of Law & Gender, Northwestern University Law Review, and others.

Liz now draws on her unique life experiences—as a former lawyer, law professor, a lesbian, a rabbi’s wife and a mother — bringing insight and laughter to audiences across the country. She performs regularly at top comedy clubs and festivals, as well as at law firms, law schools, synagogues, theaters and corporate events. Whether she’s on stage or Zoom, Liz delivers thought-provoking comedy with warmth, wit, and sharp perspective.
