Comedian Vito Glazers takes his ruthless roasts on the road Red Pill Comedy Tour.
While the Glazers were once known for their controversial comments on television – including snark on reality shows such as Below deck and Mysterious millionaireas well as polarizing political commentary on CBS and Fox News — The TV personality began his comedic journey earlier this year and quickly discovered that stand-up gives him a platform to be outspoken about his opinions.
“I don’t have to do comedy. I chose comedy because stand-up is on the rise, and it’s a good way to fight the culture war,” Glazers says. “Comedy is the best way to discuss controversial ideas and win people over to your side of the thinking.”

Led by comedian Jimmy Shin, the Glazers have quickly become prominent in the Los Angeles comedy scene – sharing stages with seasoned veterans such as Jamie Kennedy, Tom Arnold, Darrell Hammond and more.
“I wouldn’t want to work with someone who doesn’t have a sense of humor,” notes the Glazers. “My comedy is clearing out people I don’t want around me.”
Glazers has amassed over 20 million views on social media for his provocative routines, which are filled with his trademark unflinching savagery, ruthlessness and even vulgarity.
Now the Glazers are channeling this defiant energy into stand-up comedy with plans to launch their own Red Pill Comedy Tour.
While not explicitly political, the Glazers describe the tour’s goals as “the cure for the ‘awake mind virus’ plaguing Western civilization.”
