UPSTAIRS AT GOODNIGHTS: TODD GLASS

Watching Todd Glass perform is like sneaking a glimpse into his mind. A veteran stands up, Glass has been honing his high-energy, off-the-cuff act since he first stepped on stage at age 16. He has a knack for inventive material that often mocks the conventions of standup and can fire off jokes in a stream-of-conscious matter that is undoubtedly funny.

Career Highlights: Netflix special “Act Happy,” a Comedy Central Presents special, two comedy albums (“Vintage Todd Glass and Other Crap” and “Thin Pig”); author of “The Todd Glass Situation;” and appearances on “I Love You, America With Sarah Silverman,” “The Daily Show,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” and “Tosh.O.”
