Reuben Glaser - writer, director, editor, producer, etc.
|
Reuben Glaser is, as referred to by Gawker, UpRoxx, and others, a "humorist from Wisconsin," responsible primarily for many satirical and comedic endeavors. Since relocating from the Milwaukee area to the Chicago area he has been focused largely on live comedy, film, acting, and writing.
As a writer he has written for GameRant.com, Cracked.com, and was a regular contributor to the Milwaukee edition of the AV Club by The Onion. His screenplay, Wastman's Fun Camp, was a quarterfinalist in the ScreenCraft Comedy Screenplay Competition and will be released as a standalone print book later in the year. As a copywriter, he has written radio ads for Stouffer's, Coffee mate, DoorDash, and others. He has served as a co-writer for the Fight City series, as well as for the satirical news series 'Friday Night Weekly,' where he also appeared in a supporting role as an exaggerated caricature of himself for its 3 season run from 2013 to 2015.
He has also appeared in numerous other projects with frequent collaborator Jozef K. Richards of Kintou Media, including the limited spin-off series 'The Reuben Report,' which gained some level of attention from USA Today and others when he and Richards managed to get into the press pool of a Donald Trump presidential rally alongside CNN and MSNBC in Appleton.
As an actor he has also appeared in Kintou Media's 'Batman And Jesus' and "Holy Shit," as well as the series "Poké Men & Women" as a member of a "Pokérobics" class, and alongside the comedy trio FND Films as the Mr. Mime expert Scientist Roger. As an actor in television, Reuben Glaser has appeared in a number of shows, including HBO's Lovecraft Country, FOX's "neXt," "Empire," Amazon Prime's Utopia, and AppleTV's Shining Girls as an archivist and coworker of Elisabeth Moss's character Kirby.
Up until 2020, he produced, wrote, booked, and hosted the popular monthly comedy show "Joak Park" with Matt Henry at District Kitchen and Tap (DKT) in Oak Park, IL, which you can find out more about here, and read about in articles from The Chicago Tribune and The Wednesday Journal.
At the height of the 2012 presidential election, Reuben Glaser created the "Little Face Mitt" meme, which generated a fan base of millions during much of the election cycle and was covered by Gawker, UPROXX, CollegeHumor, Buzzfeed, PostSecret, Mother Jones, Funny or Die, MSNBC, The Young Turks, The Washington Examiner and many others. International Business Times asked readers if it was one of the best political memes ever, and Mashable listed it as one of the 10 best political memes of 2012. The Obama reelection campaign were said to have used the images as computer backgrounds in their Chicago HQ.
Prior to Little Face Mitt, his Kurt 4 Klerk campaign prank in 2011 gained some notoriety.
He also directed a feature mockumentary film in 2011 titled "The Nature of Hatman," and over 115 comedy skits between 2006-2010. In 2013, he wrote "A Chris Christmas Carol" and in 2010 originally self-published his book "A Ride of a Lifetime."
