Broad City turned Glazer into a specific kind of New York icon, and her live act is where she gets to be messier than any script allowed — physical, self-deprecating and prone to going somewhere unplanned. The Beacon is a proper theatre rather than a basement club, so the whole room is in on the same bit at once. If Broad City was your New York in your twenties, this is the comic checking in on what happened next.
What to expect
One headline set in a 2,800-seat theatre, typically 75-90 minutes with an opening act. Glazer works loose and talks to the room, so no two nights land identically. Expect frank material about the body, parenthood and city life.
Good to know
- 1, 2 or 3 train to 72nd Street; the Beacon sits at 74th and Broadway
- Book early — Glazer's New York dates historically move fast
- Orchestra seating gets you closest to a comic who works the front rows
- Adult material; leave the kids at home
- The Beacon is wheelchair accessible, with accessible seating bookable in advance
- Ticketed individually as part of the New York Comedy Festival, not covered by any pass
