Broad City Live, the uproarious live adaptation of the wildly popular web-to-television series created by the comedic genius duo Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, has taken the country by storm. The dynamic pair, known for their brilliantly unique sketches, brought the hilarity of Broad City to the stage, touring their creative comedy across the nation and earning rave reviews along the way.
The roots of Broad City trace back to the original web series, a brainchild of Jacobson and Glazer that entertained audiences from 2009 to 2011. The success of the web series paved the way for the television sitcom, premiering in 2014, and quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon. Following the escapades of the duo as they navigate the challenges of their 20s in New York, the show captured the hearts of viewers, averaging an impressive 1.2 million viewers per episode. Its inaugural season marked Comedy Central’s highest-rated first season since 2012, earning nominations at prestigious awards ceremonies like the Critics’ Choice Television Awards and the MTV Movie & Television Awards.
Building on this success, Jacobson and Glazer took Broad City to the stage with Broad City Live, a live adaptation that has crisscrossed the United States, from Washington to Houston, delighting audiences with its outlandish sketches and infectious energy. Produced by AEG Live, Broad City Live continues to be a comedic tour de force, showcasing the unparalleled chemistry and humor that have made Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer icons in the world of comedy.
