It’s early November, a couple hours until she and Abbi Jacobson, her co-star on the Comedy Central series Broad City, kick off their “Broad City Live” national tour and they’re running through the beats of their sold-out show. It’s unclear whether Glazer is feeling nerves, the hot stage lights, or exertion from trying to stay upright on roller skates while shooting a T-shirt gun into rows of empty foldout chairs. In response, Jacobson rips the cannon from her hands and yells, “Say hello to my little friend!” before accidentally firing a tee into the stage lights. “Oh shit.”
