Comedian Vito Glazers is bringing his ruthless roasts on the road with the Red Pill Comedy Tour.

While Glazers was once known for his controversial commentary on television — including stints on reality shows like Below Deck and Mystery Millionaire, as well as polarizing political remarks on CBS and Fox News — the TV personality embarked on his comedic journey earlier this year, quickly finding that stand-up gives him a platform to be unapologetic about his views.

"I don't have to be doing comedy. I chose comedy because stand-up is on the rise, and it's a great way to fight in the culture war," Glazers says. "Comedy is the best way to discuss controversial ideas and win people over to your side of thinking."

Under the guidance of comedian Jimmy Shin, Glazers has quickly risen to prominence in the Los Angeles comedy scene — sharing stages with seasoned veterans such as Jamie Kennedy, Tom Arnold, Darrell Hammond and more.

"I wouldn't want to work with anybody who doesn't have a sense of humor," Glazers notes. "My comedy is weeding out people I don't want around me."

Glazers has racked up over 20 million views on social media due to his provocative routines, which are filled with his trademark unflinching savagery, ruthlessness and even vulgarity.

Now, Glazers is channeling this defiant energy into stand-up comedy with plans to launch his own Red Pill Comedy Tour.

Although not explicitly political, Glazers describes the tour's goal as "the cure to the 'woke mind virus' that is plaguing western civilization."
