Is Liza Treyger married?

No, as of 2023, Liza Treyger is still not married. In fact, she may be living the single life – no commitments, just partying. “I’m pretty dirty and right now I’m in a phase where I talk a lot about how much I party and have sex and stuff,” she shared.

The comedian also often talks a lot about her dating life on her shows. If you want to learn more about her insights on relationships, check out the podcast “Putting Faith in Your Love Life” with Nicole Byer. There, the duo also spoke about how their religious and spiritual beliefs helped shape their relationship.

Now, for those hoping to impress Liza, know that she loves late 90s and early 2000s pop and soul music. She enjoys collages, shopping, walking around NYC, private pool, chatting with friends and fighting enemies – but mostly spending money, telling jokes and giggling with girlfriends.

Also, here’s a little detail about how she got into stand-up comedy. Officially, in 2008, she was invited by “some guy” to watch him at an open mic at a coffee shop, and while she was watching the others, she thought, “I think I can do this.”

The next thing she knew, she was on stage and pissing everyone off. After that, she came back every week and soon she started doing it every day. “It was a coincidence, I wasn’t raised as a comedy fan or knew about stand-up comedy,” she explains. “I remember being in an improv show in high school. For class projects, I always tried to make a movie or a sketch, so I felt like I always wanted to do something interesting, but I didn’t find my true happiness until when standing up.”

Who are Liza Treyger’s parents?

Liza Treyger shares that her Russian parents are “foreigners, foreigners, foreigners.” They wanted her to get married, have children and settle down. But here she is, often joking about “relationships, sex and stuff.” It’s no surprise that the comedian didn’t want her parents present at her performance.

To date, her father has only seen her perform once and her mother three times. “And that was more than three or four years ago. They’ve seen me on TV and know my dirty comedy. But they don’t speak English very well,” she shared. In fact, they were so “old and foreign” that by the time she was in first and second grade, Liza knew as much about American culture as they did.

However, she wants to make her parents laugh. “When I write a joke that translates well and my parents laugh, I’m really proud, but I don’t think they understand all my jokes,” the comedian added.

Overall, Liza respects her parents very much. She believes her father and mother did “amazing things” — taking a teenager and a toddler to a foreign land without a job, not knowing the language and starting over from scratch. .

This is also the reason why Liza does not mock her parents in her shows. “Ha ha, they can’t speak English, it’s so funny!” I just respect them so much [to do that],” she said. “So I’m waiting until I’m more mature as a comedian so I can actually write the jokes that I want to write about.”

Talking about her siblings, Liza has a sister named Alex Treyger, born on April 9, 1977. She lives in Chicago, Illinois with her husband and their children.

Other members of Liza’s family include Rimma, Dina and Olga Treyger.
