Things get hot and steamy in our Q&A with Comedian Nikki Glaser…
Speaking with Nikki Glaser is like talking to your gal pal at the bar.
You know, the one who can recommend the best vibrator.
Women are kicking ass in comedy these days and few are doing it better than Glaser.
How did you decide that was going to be part of the show?
And I was like, I dont think so.
Some of them are really just my friends.
So that was the first thing we did.
Do you wake up in middle of the night and think: Hey!
Id like to sit on a vibrator in middle of a coffee shop!
That sounds like something Id do!
So, it is a lot of that.
With the vibrator thing: that is my favorite vibrator and I want everyone to know about it.
So, I was just like, What can we do with it that would be interesting.
There are a lot of videos online of girls sitting on the Sybian and singing a song or whatever.
That is hard because a lot of stuff has been done regarding sex.
There have been a lot of things where I just say, No, I dont think so.
Like for the lie detector they said Oh lets bring in your boyfriends parents.
And I was just like I dont want to know the truth about what they think about me.
Im sure it would be nice, but it would just ruin everything.
It would be too weird.
My family, I know what the fallout will be with that kind of thing.
But I cant predict what it would be like [with his family].
It would just suss out too many things.
One thing that I did that was really difficult was I spent 24 hours at a strip club.
So that was a difficult thing to do.
I asked why couldnt we just do Nikki visits a strip club?
They are like,No, We have to do 24 hours.
I thought, well, this is unnecessary, but I did it.
So what do you do there?
You started in the morning?
Or night to night?
Well, it is a strip club that is open 24 hours.
The Sapphire in Vegas.
So I slept in one of the rooms.
I slept in these chairs all lined up together.
Just really had quite the experience.
I never have to go back to a strip club ever again.
I think after MacGyvering a strip club bed you are pretty much done with the whole strip club thing.
[Laughs] Yeah.
Is there an untapped aspect of the sex/dating/fetish world that you would like to explore?
We were thinking of doing a Hentai, like having someone draw me in a Hentai porn.
But I didnt want to see that.
It would just be me getting shoved with huge dicks.
Like being split open by dicks.
I dont need to see that.
Never had [a lesbian experience] before so going to get that out of the way.
Check that one off.
[Laughs] There are other things too.
Its not like a sugar daddy thing.
Its like financial domination, or something like that.
These guys just want to give you money.
He doesnt want anything for it.
Where do I find these guys?
He will expect something some day.
I was just like, It doesnt mean I will give it to him.
Why wouldnt I accept free money?
So I guess he wouldnt be able to get off to that.
So I just mentioned the whole geek-oriented thing and this interview will drop during San Diego Comic-Con.
On your show you do the Tinder Tap Out.
If you were Tindering your way through Comic-Con, what would make you stop on a profile?
A guy that is just the center of attention, holding court.
But I think a smile goes a long way.
You have spoken before about people labeling a female comic who talks about sex as a sex-comic.
I dont have much censorship when it comes to talking about sex.
I am interested in it.
There wasnt a sex show like the one that I would want to do.
There wasnt a comedy sex show.
Its always women around tables on comfy couches.
Love Line was a big inspiration, so that is kind of what inspired it.
And I was like, You are right.
Thank you for pointing that out!
It is kind of like an it gets better thing.
It is just hard when you are young and nervous about everything and everything means so much.
I encourage people to just do things that are outside their comfort zone, in terms of sex.
I have just found that to be true.
I honestly wish I had more myself.
The show is not just about sex.
Other than laughs, is that something you want people to get out of Not Safe?
It is a goal of mine to have less Brock [Turners] in the world.
Less of those douches, and educate men about women and about consent.
I have seen Amy Schumer do it.
I have seen [Abbi Jacobson and
Ilana Glazer of] Broad City do it.
Where you just see women being themselves, its feminism at its best for me as a viewer.
Stuff that I would be interested in seeing if I were a teenage girl.
We make a run at cater it to men as well.
Guys arent that dumb that they see a woman talking and think, This cant be funny.
Most guys nowadays can make the link and they love it.
Youre not emphasizing one as the female perspective and one as the male perspective.
Its just people talking like human beings.
We definitely attempt to have one female and one male because it is just more interesting that way.
Its more like, These chicks are funny and I need to have them on!
It is also, you know, we gotta represent.
And people want to hear what women have to say.
Its not even like we have to shove it down in their faces.
Hollywood is all about making money and the fact is people just really like women in comedy now.
It is making people money, so thats why theyre doing it.
It is all about making money and we just happen to be making money.
The shift has already happened.
