Katherine Ryan: Glitter Room (2019 TV Special)
6/10
Too much on the defensive.
7 July 2023
I love her first standup on Netflix (In Trouble) because she's so varied, smart, extremely quick, you can tell she's definitely a top comedian. Can handle heckling flawlessly and turns a heckler into her own material. That's a comic and that's true here too, but in this special she's waaay too defensive about the being single and raising a child alone lifestyle. At the time of me writing this, she's married and has two more kids. In the scheme of things, men are still important to her, which makes you wonder why two thirds of the show are spent saying how men exude toxic masculinity, are a rarity in her home, and a commodity that she doesn't require or look for. It was simply untrue. She's an excellent feminist but so much of the show was spent validating choices and bashing on men instead of covering more topics that it just alienates half of the audience. I'm the product of a single mother, so don't talk to me about the lack of appreciating single moms; I'm a successful person because of one. Men are people. Women are people. People suck and people will make your lifetime worth living. I hope more female comics get this.
