Early Life & Biography
Nicole Rene Glaser was born on June 1, 1984, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Edward J. Glaser and Julie E. Glaser. She grew up primarily in Kirkwood, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, where she attended Kirkwood High School. She has a younger sister, Lauren Glaser. She is of Irish and German ancestry. After graduating high school, she briefly enrolled at the University of Colorado Boulder before transferring to the University of Kansas in Lawrence, where she discovered stand-up comedy at local open-mic nights and graduated with a degree in English Literature.
She began performing stand-up professionally at age 18, commuting from college to perform at clubs. After graduating, she moved to New York City to pursue her comedy career full-time. Glaser has been open throughout her career about her personal struggles: she suffered from anorexia during her younger years and has discussed her complex relationship with food and body image extensively in her comedy. She has been sober since 2011 celebrating ten years of sobriety in 2021 by attending a Taylor Swift concert and quit smoking at the same time.
She has publicly identified as a devoted Taylor Swift fan, spending close to $100,000 attending 22 of Swift’s Eras Tour shows over two years (including travel, hotels, tickets, and inviting friends). She has been in a relationship with television producer Chris Convy — who co-created Not Safe with Nikki Glaser since 2013; in 2026, they live together in Missouri.
