Stand-up comic Nikki Glaser can roast with the best of them; just ask Tom Brady.

But she’s also refreshingly down to earth. You’d have to be to sign on for Dancing with the Stars in 2018, as she did, only to be the first celebrity sent home.

Glaser, who will perform Saturday and Sunday at the Majestic Theatre also podcasts, acts and, earlier this year, coached comics on the art of the roast on Netflix’s Funny AF.

The extracurriculars haven’t slowed Glaser down, though. Quite the contrary, she’s at the top of her game. Her 2026 special Good Girl arrives two years after Someday You’ll Die earned her Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice nominations and a WGA Award.

Then came her return as Golden Globe host in 2026, where Rolling Stone said she “delivers a masterclass in awards show monologues.”

Glaser’s CBS, Property Brothers and Leonardo DiCaprio jokes were scorchers. And despite her ability to get in jabs, she always leaves room for a few at herself. Glaser calls The Stunning Tour her biggest yet, and it has the polish of a pop star’s arena run.

Maybe seeing Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour 22 times rubbed off. Pop polish aside, expect dark, twisted comedy. Just don’t expect her to go easy on anyone, San Antonio included.

$39.50-$221.75, 7 p.m. Saturday, and 7 p.m. Sunday, Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (210) 226-3333, majesticempire.com.
