Funniest People (You’ve Never Heard Of) is a comedy podcast bringing you weekly interviews with hilarious comics, writers, content creators, and artists who aren’t household names.
Peter Murphy: Authentic, unpretentious, and fun, Peter takes a comedic look at the world through the lens of a reformed Floridian. You may recognize Peter from his work as a host on “NFL Tuesday Night Gaming” or at Tastemade Media. Peter has also been proudly featured on MTV and in various national commercials, tv shows, and feature films. He is also a co-producer of Never Ending Comedy at the Hollywood Improv.
This week, comedian Mike Glazer was almost an Olympian and now he’s on our podcast, but he doesn’t need a gold medal to be #1 in our books! So pop a gummy or a chocolate, sit back, and enjoy the magic ride that is Mike Glazer!
Mike Glazer: Originally from St. Louis, MO, Mike Glazer’s extensive credits including appearances at the 2023 NHL Awards, HBO’s Night of Too Many Stars (earning an Emmy nomination), Comedy Central, and Food Network’s Worst Cooks In America. Glazer’s live shows, which consistently sell out, have been praised as “the most promising show in LA” by Rolling Stone and hailed as an “instant classic” by High Times magazine, who also recognized him as one of the “Most Influential People in Cannabis” in 2021. Mike Glazer’s portfolio extends to high-profile events like the Outside Lands Festival, SXSW, and the immensely popular BuzzFeed series, High Guys, with over 100 million views. His comedic genius has shone on truTV’s Billy on the Street and even at the renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
As if his impressive resume wasn’t enough, Mike Glazer has shared a smoke session with the legendary Snoop Dogg, has cooked alongside Gordon Ramsay, attended culinary school, worked at Second City in Chicago, PA-ed for the Late Late Show upon arriving to LA, wore the Left Shark Super Bowl costume while being interviewed by John Mayer and clinched a gold medal as a roller hockey goalie with Team USA.
He just released his debut comedy special Life Rules! Mixtape Vol 1., alongside the release of his newest limited podcast series Life Rules! and a national tour to support (starting at SXSW’s Sharpie event which he’s hosting and making its way back to the Comedy Store in Los Angeles).
With wild stories from all layers of his life (his grandfather worked for Al Capone!), Glazer is truly an enigma within the industry. His philanthropic passion is as strong as his devotion to comedy. Over the years he has raised money for the Missouri Wildlife Foundation, Best Friends Animal Society, the Downtown Women’s Center in LA and helped coordinated a ‘letters to Santa’ program with Second City Chicago which helped deliver the Christmas present requests of children less fortunate in the Chicago-area community. Most importantly, he is dedicated to normalizing the stigma behind mental health (especially in men), as he is a diagnosed Manic Bi-Polar and grew up with Schizophrenia in his immediate family. His additional hobbies include hockey, cooking, Al-Anon, sneakers, hip-hop, basketball, Eskrima (martial arts), bowling, weightlifting and hiking. He is currently Los Angeles-based.
