clusters are still discovering it. I don't know the algorithms or the metrics of

Netflix, or what directs people to my special, but just certain weeks, loads of

people will discover In Trouble for the first time. I guess when they've run
out of Nikki Glaser and Amy Schumer and Whitney Cummings specials,

they finally get to mine because Netflix recommends them. It's like, "Are

you not a misogynist? Or, I get the impression you might not be an incel, so

maybe you'll enjoy this."

The Fix really gave everything a big boost. I'm really proud of The Fix. I

thought it was so well executed, and to be a panel show filmed in America

— when America doesn't really do panel shows to the extent that the U.K.

does — I felt like that went so well. It's something that, whenever people

discover The Fix, I'm really, really proud of it. I loved working on it and it's
helped me a lot. Hopefully, Glitter Room does the same. It's nice that

Netflix learns what you like and suggests more of it.

AH: You toured the show that became Glitter Room throughout

the U.K. Did you ever tour it in the U.S., or was the taping the
first time you'd performed it here?

KR: I did not tour it in the U.S. I've done very few open mics and late night

sets there, really. But when I was touring after In Trouble, I knew I wanted

to have a another special or tour show that was more about relationships. I
spoke a lot about the world in In Trouble. Celebrities, things that I saw and

stuff like that.

But with Glitter Room, I wanted to be more personal. I wanted to do a tour

that more people could relate to, internationally. I wanted it to travel well.
I'm noticing that, even in London, you get international audiences. And I

think that relationships, whether those are romantic relationships or your

children or whatever it is, are present in everyone's life. It's a very relatable

subject and I really wanted to talk about that in this.
