Liza Treyger's Down Under tour hits four Australian cities this July with her brand-new comedy show.
Hot off the heels of her Netflix special Night Owl, the American comedian arrives in Australia with fresh material that builds on her reputation for biting, smart jokes about hot button topics. Liza Treyger’s Down Under tour showcases her hilarious brand of comedy, covering everything from friends who are parents to hating other people’s husbands and lying to herself about how high she really is.
Named as one of Variety’s Top Ten Comics to Watch and praised by The New York Times as a comic who shines where sex and politics intersect, Treyger has become known for her fearless approach to subjects including sexism, feminism and religion. Her growing screen credits include Survival of the Thickest on Netflix, Jordan Peele’s horror film Nope and Judd Apatow’s The King of Staten Island.

Beyond stand-up, Treyger co-hosts the wildly popular That’s Messed Up: An SVU Podcast with fellow comedian Kara Klenk, where they dissect episodes of Law & Order: SVU, delving into the true crimes behind them and interviewing everyone from celebrity guest stars to joggers who find the bodies. The podcast garners over half a million downloads each month.
Born in the former Soviet Union, Treyger came to the United States at age three when her family was offered religious asylum in 1990. She started her stand-up career in 2009 in Chicago and has since become a regular performer at iconic venues like the Comedy Cellar in New York and The Comedy Store in LA, playing to sold-out crowds across the globe.
