Katherine Ryan: Glitter Room (2019 TV Special)
1/10
I can't believe this was written by Katherine Ryan

It pains me to say it, but this is one of the worst comedy shows I have ever seen. Which is unbelievable as Katherine Ryan is normally hilarious.

Perhaps it is because this is for an American audience or Katherine was having a bad day but both me and my partner struggled to even crack a smile during this.

Katherine starts the show declaring she has spent the last few months making Britain angry - which is odd as I assumed she was universally loved in the UK; hardly a panel show slips her by and she is always a joy to watch.

In Glitter Room she exchanges her normal wit and dark humor for acidic vitriol. The majority of the routine is calling people pricks, interspersed with comments on how awful men can be. You can get a more entertaining and coherent version of this show by starting a fight outside any Essex pub or nightclub at closing time.

Now even if you want to let off some steam partaking in a bit of man-bashing or generic name-calling , I would still argue you can find wittier and more gratifying material on any online forum.

I hope this is a show for Yanks that Brits just don't get and this isn't a new direction for Katherine as I truly am a big fan - just not of this.
