Reuben Glaser -
CHICAGO AREA FUNNYMAN, by way of milwaukee.
|
Reuben Glaser is, as referred to by Gawker, UpRoxx, CraveOnline and others, a "humorist from Wisconsin" known primarily for his biting satire and many comedic endeavors, and now for his work in stand-up comedy. Since relocating from the Milwaukee area to the Chicago area he has been focused largely on live comedy, film, writing, and acting. Currently, Reuben produces and hosts the popular monthly comedy show "Joak Park" 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.
Previously, at the height of the 2012 presidential election, Reuben rose to some prominence by creating 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. It was credited by the International Business Times as being 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 even used the images as computer backgrounds in the Chicago HQ. Though the world moved on from Little Face Mitt, Glaser also created the less successful but still disturbing "Kim Jong-un with Bulbous Lips and One Small Eye" and Tiny Face Trump which he very, very infrequently still contributes to. Neither of these were anywhere nearly as highly regarded as LFM but at least ThoughtCatalog seemed to like Tiny Face Trump.
Before Little Face Mitt, Glaser had another brush with satirical notoriety for his Kurt 4 Klerk campaign prank in 2011. 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 self-published his book "A Ride of a Lifetime." Glaser has also written for GameRant.com, Cracked.com, and was a regular contributor to the new defunct Milwaukee AV Club by The Onion.
