Comedian Liz Glazer dishes on her ‘very Jewish’ comedy special

Liz Glazer, a lawyer-turned-comedian and proud graduate of Ramaz, has released her debut comedy special, Do You Know Who I’m Not?, now streaming for free on YouTube. Filmed at South Orange Performing Arts Center, the 40-minute set blends humor with heartfelt stories—ranging from marriage to a rabbi, navigating generational Holocaust anxiety (she’s the granddaughter of four survivors), and becoming a queer Jewish voice in the comedy scene.

Glazer cleverly weaves personal experiences into universal themes—like anxiety, identity, law-school days, and parenting her toddler, Eloise. She also joked about everything from rabbinic sermons to gefilte fish terrine and the quirks of Modern Orthodox upbringing. With sharp punchlines and raw honesty, she turns Jewish life into laugh-out-loud material.

Her work has already earned buzz: the special dropped the same night she made her debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, plus coverage from outlets like Kveller highlighting its warm, cultural resonance.
