Ophira Eisenberg Unveils New Comedy Special ‘I Used To Be...
Matthewgroba · 2026-05-05 · via News

EXCLUSIVE: Comedian Ophira Eisenberg has announced that her new special I Used to Be Nicer, produced by Lewis Black‘s Stark Raving Black, will premiere on Veeps at 5 p.m. PT on Friday, May 15.

In the special, Eisenberg gives a Canadian middle finger to toxic positivity, parenting, marriage maintenance, aging, therapy, and the goddamn cost of eggs.

“I’ve been told my whole life that I’m so nice,” the stand-up said. “Is it the Canadian in me? The accommodating woman in me? Well thanks to parenthood, getting a little older, and being told to ‘just be positive’ one too many times, I can finally say I used to be nicer. Now I’m honest. And it’s better for comedy!”

Directed by Benjamin Brewer, I Used to Be Nicer taped at Village Underground at the Comedy Cellar in New York, NY. Jack Gulick and Brewer of Stark Raving Black produced the hour, with Lenny Marcus and Eisenberg serving as exec producers.

Said Eisenberg’s producer Black — a veteran comic and actor seen on The Daily Show, and in specials like Tragically, I Need You — “I am not only joyful but proud to have produced Ophira Eisenberg’s special. And I am rarely one who feels joy or even uses that word, but I think when you watch it, you will understand why I am. Also, it’s nice to have been a part of getting her a larger audience—one she deserves as her work continues to evolve. She nails her subjects—from society to relationships to motherhood to marriage—with a barbed humor that is as funny as it is insightful. She opens our eyes with laughter.”

Eisenberg is a stand-up comedian, writer, and podcaster who released her last special, Inside Joke, with Comedy Dynamics. She tours regularly with The Moth Mainstage, hosts the weekly podcast Parenting is a Joke, and previously hosted NPR’s trivia comedy show Ask Me Another for nine years. Eisenberg’s memoir Screw Everyone: Sleeping My Way to Monogamy (Seal Press) has been optioned for television, and her solo show Leaving A Mark: A Comedy About Scars won the Women in the Arts & Media Award for Solo Show Scripts and just finished a successful European tour.

The comic is repped by Jodi Lieberman of Lieberman Entertainment and Peikoff Mahan.
