There's a certain familiar moment when you're hanging out with very close friends, being giddy and silly, and there's a way that you make each other laugh that's so specific and so unique that it's hard to recreate anywhere else. For sure, it's hard to recreate in the setting of a comedy club. A professional comedian is designed to make you laugh, but that certain type of laugh is so particular that it's almost banned from comedy clubs.

Todd Glass can make you laugh like an audience member might but he can also touch you in the way that a close childhood friend can hit your buttons. In a way, um, he's magical.

Glass is a comedian who's been around for years, but he's really caught traction in the past couple, thanks in part to his podcast, The Todd Glass Show. On his program, the prevailing theme is comedian friends doing bits - doing bits, deconstructing bits, talking about bits and then doing them to death.
