Todd Glass to perform at Comedy Attic

Comedian Todd Glass will perform at 8 tonight at the Comedy Attic, with additional performances both Friday and Saturday nights.

Glass, who grew up in Philadelphia, Pa., started his stand-up career while in high school.
He has appeared on a variety of television shows including “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and two seasons of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.”

He accumulated a fan base through his opening acts for famous comedians such as Sarah Silverman and through his podcast, “The Todd Glass Show,” which is available on his website, toddglass.com.

Glass released his first stand-up album, “Vintage Todd Glass and Other Crap,” in 2001. His most recent album, “Thin Pig,” was released on Comedy Central Records in 2009.

Glass came out as gay in January 2012 after performing comedy for 31 years.
 
“All the comedians I respect are usually truthful in their act, even if it’s silliness,” Glass told New York Magazine of the experience. “Whatever it is, it’s all about being honest. Obviously that makes a good comedian, and now I can be more honest.”

Glass has previously performed at the Comedy Attic where, according to its website, he once signed a poster that said “The Most Fun I’ve Had in 25 Years.”
