Page 227 - Katherine Ryan press pack

Netflix’s new comedy special, “Glitter Room” with Katherine Ryan, is
all you need for a dose of hilarity. Ryan gives her honest take on

everything from “what’s left of America” to price points for her child’s

school bake sale, and she delivers all of her comedy in a relatable,
fed-up-with-the-world, just-trying-to-live-her-life manner that rings true

with everyone. The audience never stops laughing.

One of Ryan’s more hilarious topics in “Glitter Room” is her continuous

rant about dating. She shares her exasperation with her friends’ and

family’s constant questions about when she’s going to start dating
again; apparently, she does not have a good track record. She pulled

herself out of the dating game for a reason, which no one in her life

seems to understand.

Ryan is honestly confused why everyone wants her to “get back in the

game,” so she compares the situation to being a surgeon who
manages to kill every patient. Nobody would be asking her to get back

to the hospital then, would they? And with Ryan’s excellent sense of

humor and hilarious imitations, she makes the whole crowd break into

laughter.

In a similar vein, Ryan wonders why some people just can’t seem to
accept a household that isn’t “cookie-cutter”; that is, a mom, a dad and

several kids. She expresses her frustration with Jane, one of the

mothers she has to deal with at her daughter’s school. Jane just
cannot comprehend that Ryan is content as a single co-parent.

On stage, Ryan claps back to whatever Jane has said to her in the
past. For example, Jane has shared that she would be so sad if she
were alone, and Ryan retorts, “I’d be sad if I was alone with you too,
Jane.”
