Nikki Glaser is using her comedic talents to stand up for animals in a new ad campaign for PETA. In the campaign, the 39-year-old comedian posed completely nude, holding a microphone and standing in front of a brick wall on a comedy club stage. Her message is clear: “Wear your own skin,” printed on her stomach. Nikki is encouraging fans to ditch animal-product clothes like leather and consider going vegan.
In a video accompanying the campaign, Nikki doesn’t hold back, roasting those who may worry about being less cool if they stop wearing animal skin. She points out the mistreatment of animals in the fashion industry and challenges the notion that using real leather is the only way to look cool. She humorously suggests, “if that’s what your personality is dependent on, you need to go to therapy.”
Nikki also addresses the reluctance some people have about going vegan, acknowledging that it can be a big change. She humorously suggests, “If you become vegan and you really miss the animal cruelty that you used to once take part in, just kick your dog or something, cause it’s literally the same thing.” Her bold and unapologetic approach to advocating for veganism is both thought-provoking and entertaining.
From comedy club to animal activism
In her own journey, Nikki has been vegan since 2016 and has found unique ways to incorporate her lifestyle into her comedy. She emphasizes the importance of facing the reality of animal mistreatment in various industries and urges people to reconsider their choices. “I know you’re going to miss the things that you loved, but just because you like something doesn’t mean it’s right,” she says.
By using humor and wit, Nikki is able to deliver a powerful message about animal rights and veganism. Her approach challenges societal norms and encourages people to think critically about their choices. As she continues to use her platform to advocate for causes she believes in, Nikki’s impact reaches beyond the comedy stage. She proves that standing up for what you believe in can be both impactful and entertaining.
