Comedian Liz Glazer Returns to SOPAC with "Big Waitlist Energy"
Sep 04, 2026
ArtPride New Jersey

If you’ve ever wondered if it’s too late to make a change, today’s guest may give you renewed faith in second acts. Liz Glazer is a former tenured law professor turned actor and standup comic.

Her comedy special Do You Know Who I’m Not? is now streaming on YouTube and 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 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.

And she is now bringing her upcoming special, Big Waitlist Energy, to the South Orange Performing Arts Center this September. Gina had a blast chatting with Liz and we think you’ll enjoy their conversation. 

Thanks for listening!
