Tonight at Tapes - is headlining!

“Originally from London, Stuart Laws is a UK comedy favorite who is renowned for his hilarious and freewheeling shows. He has opened for Ed Gamble, James Acaster and Chloe Radcliffe and has performed comedy on the BBC. Reviewers have said “Laws is one of the most skilled and likeable comics on the circuit … a deliciously joke-dense show.” and “You’ll struggle to find a comedian with a better jokes per minute rate... like a one-man episode of Arrested Development”. He now calls New York home, has a special with 800 Pound Gorilla, just went viral after getting booed for not having kids and has appeared in Such Brave Girls on Hulu and Patience on PBS. He directed James Acaster’s HBO special Hecklers Welcome and Nish Kumar’s latest special. If you like British comedy, this guy gonna be a treat for you.”

“...contemplates what it takes for real life to finally feel real.”

— Julie Seabaugh, LA Times Journalist

Mike Glazer is a twisted storyteller, like Nate Bargatze on mushrooms. Glazer’s chaotic, true tales have appeared on Comics Unleashed (CBS), Netflix Is A Joke Festival Presents: Mike Glazer, The F Word with Gordon Ramsay (FOX), and Worst Cooks in America (Food Network). In addition to his TV appearances, he has also performed at the NHL Awards and major festivals, including SXSW and Outside Lands, and is an Emmy-nominated writer for HBO.

Glazer is currently touring his new hour, Mike Glazer Self-Destructs, following a sold-out Los Angeles run.“
