I feel like this was written by someone who has never actually watched Schumer's stand up (and potentially not Nikki Glaser's either).

Amy does sometimes make crude jokes about sex but her humor is much more biting and more about emotions than just about the shock of her referring to crude sexual situations. In particular, Amy's last two specials have focused on pregnancy, childbirth, relationships generally, marriage to someone on the spectrum, the pandemic, and getting older. Sex is still part of it but it's not the focus at all. I think the key to her success as a standup is entirely in how relatable and honest she is.

Glaser is much more of a "sex shock" type comedian and she is not really to my taste. I think Nikki Glaser is most similar to Iliza Schlesinger, but Schlesinger's comedy is more insightful to me.

Another issue with Glaser is that her life has stayed pretty static over her career and it makes her material seem pretty stale. She moved back to her hometown at some point and that resulted in some better jokes but even that's gotten old now. Whereas both Schumer and Schlesinger have evolved a bit more as people and their comedy has evolved with it.

All three of these women are in their early to mid 40s (as am I) and I feel like Schumer and Schlesinger have kind of grown up with me, whereas when I see Glaser's standup these days it feels very stuck in the same place it was 20 years ago. There's been no evolution. [/quote]
