Comedian Mike Glazer

Like most comedians, Glazer found a need for laughter in his life while growing up in a dark atmosphere. He is diagnosed Manic Bi-Polar and grew up with Schizophrenia among other mental illnesses in his household and immediate family. At a young age, he found ways to make his mother laugh in order to keep their family home from being too intense and furthering his own mental health issues. He is open about being on medication for his diagnosis and hope that doing so will help others (especially men) feel that they can normalize the conversation and get help.

From earning a Gold Medal with Team USA as a roller hockey goalie, performing alongside Dave Chapelle (who saw him performing at his monthly sold-out show Glazed at the Hollywood Improv and decided to jump up on stage – they ended up singing Radiohead’s ‘Creep’ together), to cooking alongside Gordon Ramsay (after being featured on Worst Cooks in America and then going to Culinary School), Glazer has a multitude of talents, wild stories and anecdotes to share.
