How about starting the New Year with a good laugh and make life a little less tougher than it already is? 

But wait! If you are sensitive to subjects like Fascism, homosexuality, women's problems, or similar "burning" social issues, then this show might not be your kind.

However, if you are looking to literally "laugh out loud" through the evening and have a light, fun, yet meaningful take on the world that we are living in today, then, we would encourage you to spend that precious one hour on a Friday night and catch Ilana Glazer in action.  

So, what is 'The Planet Is Burning' all about? The comedy stand-up special is Glazer’s latest gift to the world.

In simpler words, let’s just say, that Glazer decided to add her sense of humor to our almost "dying" planet. And no, we (or even her) don't mean it "geographically".

The world, as we currently know it, is saturated with negativity, complicated human relationships, social troubles, political confusion, giving people trauma more than anything else.

It is indeed become a challenge to live through every day in the current world. But it doesn't have to be depressing. If one could look at all of this as one, big circus, have a laugh, life will probably be a little easier on us.

And that's exactly what Glazer aims to do with her upcoming comedy special on Amazon Prime. Or so she has been doing for the last decade of her professional life.

If you haven't watched Glazer in her elements and comic best, then here's something you must know before you tune into 'The Planet Is Burning'.

The 32-year-old Glazer wears many hats. Calling her just a comedian would be professionally wrong and understated. She is a writer, actor, creator, and social figure.

She shot to fame with her Comedy Central production 'Broad City' along with Abbi Jacobson, which started as a web series and became a popular television show.

Apart from her flagship show, Glazer has also appeared in numerous network TV shows and independent movies. So, if you are contemplating what to expect from the show, then this star comedian's resume should just do.

The hour-long comedy special on Amazon's streaming network is coverage of Glazer's eight-city headlining stand-up tour. Without giving out any details or spoiling the fun, we will just say that don't believe or think, just watch and find out for yourself why and how Glazer thinks that the planet is actually "burning".

'The Planet Is Burning' will start streaming on Amazon Prime on Friday, January 3, 2020.
