“Human Magic” was recorded at Toronto’s Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre in May of this year during Glazer’s 48-city tour across the U.S. and Canada. This is their second stand-up special, following “Ilana Glazer: The Planet Is Burning,” which debuted on Amazon Prime Video in 2020 and in which they discussed their “thoughts on homophobes and Nazis, how worthless women’s razors are, and what a joke the patriarchy is.”
Glazer is best known for “Broad City,” the Comedy Central series they co-created, co-hosted, and co-starred in with Abbi Jacobson. After debuting as a web series, “Broad City” ran for five seasons on Comedy Central. In film, Glazer’s credits include co-writing and starring in Pamela Adlon’s 2024 comedy “Babes” and John Lee’s 2021 horror “False Positive.” They also had roles in the 2017 film “Rough Night,” from executive producers Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs, season 1 of “The Afterparty” on Apple TV+, and both seasons of the Netflix series “Green Eggs and Ham.”
Jeff Tomsic directed “Human Magic,” which was produced by Rotten Science and Starrpix. The special is the latest addition to Hulu’s new “Hularious” stand-up comedy brand, which the streamer is launching in November with “Jim Gaffigan: The Skinny.” Other comics with upcoming Hularious specials include Bill Butt and Roy Wood Jr., with more to be announced as the brand also prepares to launch a collection of licensed specials released by 800 Pound Gorilla, Comedy Dynamics and more.
