Comic Nikki Glaser On Roasts & Hurt Feelings

Doing stand-up was the first opportunity I got to, like, position this question to people and have people go, oh, yeah, that is kind of weird. Maybe you're not alone in thinking this is bizarre that we are expected to do this when we get older. I really didn't like that I was going to have to grow up and have sex. It terrified me.

That's always been the goal is just to mention the unmentionable. And as I've dealt with, like, addictions and just problems with my mental health, it's like that's always the answer to solving it is admitting that there's a problem. So it's like I kind of stumbled into comedy as a way to cope with all these feelings.

And I found stand-up as kind of a rebellion to all those kind of awkward, silent moments or... Those looks of just confusion and almost disdain for the thing I just said. And now I'm like, oh, now I'm making money doing it.

I really don't even consider that. I feel so disconnected from being like a sex comic. I feel like more... that I'm just commenting on this thing that exists rather than talking about my own sex life. But I certainly do talk about my own sex life. I think it was tough because I think when I did go out there and date in the last few years,

Men were just scared that I was going to talk about them on stage and they should have been because I didn't really have good boundaries until recently around that stuff. And I was doing to guys the same thing that I feared they would do to me, you know, and I was always anonymously.

But there was a part of me that, you know, if a guy hurt me or that, yeah, there was a part of me that wanted to hurt them back with my material and take control of the situation. And I think that's why I like Taylor Swift so much.

Well, I think Taylor Swift is able to get revenge for being hurt in songs and be able to take control of the heartbreak that she's endured. and take control of the narrative of what happened, and kind of writes to the idea of a man hearing this on the radio, the guy that hurt her, having to deal with her the rest of his life.
