When the Educatee Programming Council (SPC) member introducing Nikki Glaser'south comedy show to the audience in Glenn Memorial Church said Glaser could not brand it due to a fraudulent third-party booking agency, I about got upwards and left.

Simply I stayed, and I was rewarded for it. Glaser'south stand-up bear witness this by Saturday was entertaining for those who can capeesh vagina jokes — which I do. Glaser had the whole audience laughing for the entirety of the hour-long show.

Glaser is almost known for her role equally Lisa in Amy Schumer's Trainwreck (2015) also as Comedy Central'southward Non Safe with Nikki Glaser . Performing in the picturesque Methodist church building, Glaser joked that she was thrown off by the religious setting, stating that she was sure that the room had never before heard such ungodly words uttered. The audience laughed as Glaser took to the podium for a few minutes to deliver her obscene jokes, comparing the church's drapes to her own labia.

I hadn't heard of Glaser before SPC announced that she would perform for this yr'due south Dooley's Week, so I did not know what to wait. However, SPC had associated her with Schumer, a widely dear comedian, then I expected the aforementioned sort of vulgar, girl-power humor. Glaser rested on her tie to Schumer throughout her bear witness as she lamented how badly she wanted to curse in the church and frequently delivered jokes based on sex and race.

The similarity between Schumer and Glaser did not lessen the sense of humour of Glaser's jokes, but it did brand them more than expected and less original. Then once more, sex sells. Well-nigh successful comedians ultimately dig upward explicit topics to shock the audience. And Glaser was no different; the more explicit and sexual the joke, the more than shocked the audience became and the more the students seemed to enjoy it.

Glaser'southward strongest jokes centered around sexual practice and culturally sensitive topics. She made the overused airport security and Transportation Security Assistants (TSA) topic her own when she satirized the security process. When TSA told her to empty her pockets, she joked that she felt like she should take taken her tampon out. Since it was a heavy menstruation twenty-four hours and she had a massive tampon in, she joked that her tampon would look like a stick of dynamite to the 10-ray machines. She finished the bit with how she "[couldn't] believe ISIS [had] not idea of that however."

Glaser somewhen transitioned to race when she discussed how she inverse her proper name's spelling in accordance with her dates' races. She explained her dissimilar spellings of each proper noun: "I dated a black guy then I changed my proper name to Nique$ … only then he cheated on me so I changed it to NiKKKi." Glaser took her explicit humour further when she progressed to beastiality, saying, "Your dog wants to go downwardly on you, I'grand pitiful to tell y'all."

She finished the prove with more than innocent jokes, including a spot-on impression of Rachel from Friends and a story about her miserable failure in competing on American Ninja Warrior . Those simpler and more superficial jokes clumped together at the end of her performance left a weak impression on the audience.

Glaser fell short in the delivery of some of her jokes during the last 15 minutes of her show, utilizing weak transitions while searching for the next punchline on her phone, leaving the audience in an bad-mannered silence as they anxiously awaited her next joke. For instance, she abruptly transitioned from American Ninja Warrior to marijuana with no caption of their relation. Those shortcomings exemplified her problems with with pacing and memorization of jokes as she struggled to deliver coherent punchlines.

Although she sometimes lacked in originality and struggled with pacing, Glaser'due south performance was an entertaining hour of obscene one-act. At times, she tried likewise hard to imitate Schumer, making her jokes explicitly sexual even when they did not come up naturally to her.  Notwithstanding, the moments when Glaser institute her ain phonation, pointing out the ridiculous aspects of sex activity, were easily the strongest and most rip-roaringly hilarious parts of her performance. Overall, Glaser knew exactly what to say to get college students laughing, and I would certainly plow to her again for a pick me upwards the next time a promised Migos concert falls through.
