You know them as an actor-comedian and half of one of TV's most beloved BFF duos — Abbi and Ilana from Broad City, duh — and now you can get to know Ilana Glazer as mom. Yes, for their new stand-up special, Ilana Glazer: Human Magic, the titular star and first-time mother (Glazer and husband, computational biologist David Rooklin, welcomed their daughter in 2021) gives their characteristically unfiltered and hilariously funny reflections about labor, delivery and the general messiness of modern motherhood.
“Everyone tells you how hard it is having a kid, but I’ve been shocked by the joy of it,” Glazer told The Hollywood Reporter. “People don’t seem to make space to wonder at the magic of it, because then we’d have to stop living in this capitalist structure. And also — pregnancy is funny.”
