Reuben Glaser -CHICAGO AREA FUNNYMAN, by way of milwaukee.
|
Reuben Glaser is, as referred to by Gawker, UpRoxx, and others, a "humorist from Wisconsin" known primarily for his 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 of 2020, he is set to appear as an actor in a number of shows, including HBO's Lovecraft Country, FOX's "neXt," and Amazon Prime's Utopia. The Kung fu comedy film he co-wrote with filmmaker Gus Pewe, "Fight City: Shaolin Throwdown," is also set to release by the end of the year. In Fall of 2020, he will be releasing a rewritten 10th Anniversary Edition of his very stupid metafiction/Picaresque fiction/parody novel "A Ride of a Lifetime." Also planned for release in the months after is his debut fiction tragicomedy novel about mountain climbers, "Leave It Where It Lands."
Up until 2020, he hosted his 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.
He has appeared in numerous projects with his frequent collaborator and friend Jozef K. Richards of Kintou Media, a working relationship which began when he began writing for and appearing in a supporting role as an exaggerated caricature of himself in the satirical news series 'Friday Night Weekly' for its 3 season run from 2013 to 2015. He also fronted 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.
Previously, at the height of the 2012 presidential election, Reuben Glaser 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. 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 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 originally 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.
