'The Planet is Burning': Ilana Glazer is the ultimate inspiration for aspiring female comedians

Very recently, we came across an industry-wide study on how the stand-up space is seeing a drop in female comedians? Might we ask why? We even know the answers.
No matter how much we say we have "progressed", there are still prejudices about women "not being funny enough" to take the stage and make an auditorium full of people laugh their lungs out.
You would argue and cite examples of yesteryears ladies like Lily Tomlin or modern women like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. But they weren't made here and now! And truth be told, these women still take up a microscopic percentage of the comedian population in the United States.
Now, one woman (among many like her) decided to change that and bring forth a kind of "female comedian" that every millennial woman would want to look up to.
Meet Ilana Glazer. And no, she isn't born today either. If you have been a regular audience of Comedy Central, then you would have definitely seen her in 'Broad City' which made Glazer a star in her own right.
From a YouTube web series to a popular network show, Glazer and her co-creator and friend Abbi Jacobson made 'Broad City' one of the most talked-about female-driven, modern comedy series on American television.
Taking her winning streak a step ahead, Glazer creates, produces, and performs in her first-ever stand-up production, 'The Planet Is Burning' premiered today on Amazon Prime Video.
This original stand-up show sees Glazer at her untainted best, taking us through very unique and interesting, viral, and even controversial topics, in her very personal perspective to each.
From her introduction to the audience to owning the stage and making a warm connect with every segment of the audience, Ilana Glazer remains a true performer.
Her sketches are raw and wild, but not once would you want to cringe. Rather, it makes you laugh your heart out, recalling a memory of something similar that you would have once thought of, as a woman, and perhaps laughed at it yourself.
Now, there is someone out there, in flesh and blood, reading the exact same thoughts and voicing them in a way that is apt and funny at the same time!
This complete package makes Glazer one of the best female comedians of today's times. Budding stand-up females can surely take cues from Glazer's bold and brilliant sense of humor and stage presence and set benchmarks for their future selves.
