Liza Treyger

Comedian Liza Treyger’s social media handles borrow the name of her 2015 comedy album, Glittercheese, which breezily bounces from irony-laden tales of calling her parents from jail to getting sassed by teenage girls at a Miley Cyrus concert. Born in the former Soviet Union before moving to Illinois as a child, Treyger is a self-described “casual feminist.” She takes to the stage with a number of guest spots and specials under her belt—including a 2015 Comedy Central special filmed at Royale. Grab a slice of sharp comedy when Liza Treyger wheels into Laugh Boston on May 24-26.  / Nathan Tavares
