express his disappointment that she didn’t actually sell all her dogs,
pull her daughter out of school and quit her job just to follow him to

Japan. He concluded that she must not really need him and that,

because she has a daughter, he would never be her first priority, only
her second. Ryan scoffs incredulously at that: “Second? Oh … No.”

Ryan also touches on the double standard for single parents. In her
experience, while single mothers are always asked why they aren’t in

a relationship yet, single fathers are just seen as eligible. She talks

about viral videos she’s seen, with titles like, “Incredible dad learns to
braid his own child’s hair! How does he do it?”

“Glitter Room” wraps up with a hilarious bit about Anna Kendrick.
Ryan talks about buying her house in London and going through it with

a contractor. She doesn’t let him call an area “the piano nook”; no, she

makes him call it by its real name: “The Anna Kendrick Memorial
Music Hall.”

This leads Ryan to her closing rant, which is about her daughter’s love
of Anna Kendrick. Apparently, Kendrick was in London and Ryan’s

daughter really wanted to meet her; they went on an adventure, trying

to catch a glimpse of the star at her hotel. They couldn’t find her, so
Ryan tries to teach her daughter a lesson about how you can’t always

get what you want. But, just then, Kendrick herself came up to them

and said to Ryan’s daughter, “You must be Violet.” Ryan then burst
into tears, in a very relatable case of awkwardness around celebrities.

“Glitter Room” is the epitome of relatable comedy because Ryan deals
with situations in an honest, real, hilarious way and isn’t afraid to tell

the audience what she really thinks. She uses different tones of voice

and imitates accents brilliantly, too, and her stand-up draws the
audience in and keeps their attention. Anyone who enjoys comedy
