Glennis' sketch show Celebutantes (co-written with Liz Black) enjoyed a long run at UCB NY.  They then followed up with another hit, Santa Babies, which ran for two years at UCB NY during the Christmas season.  She has also been seen on the UCB NY stage as her 5-year-old talk show host altar ego Molly McFizz in Shootin' The Shizz with Molly McFizz and in her solo show, 30 Special Minutes With Glennis McMurray.  Glennis' video "Shelly The Shark On A Date", in which she plays nurse Shelly from Celebrity Rehab, was hailed by the show's producers, and Dr. Drew sang its praises on “Love Line with Dr. Drew”.
