Comic's Glitter Room to air on the streaming service

Netflix has signed Katherine Ryan for a second comedy special.

Her current stand-up show Glitter Room – which opened in London’s West End last night – is to be recorded for the on-demand service.

Last year, she became only the second British-based comedian to have a special released globally on Netflix after Jimmy Carr. The multinational recorded her tour Kathbum at the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo  and released it under the title In Trouble.

She will also be a team captain in Netflix’s first bash at a panel show, The Fix, opposite DL Hughley with Carr as host. Ryan and Carr have also fronted Comedy Central’s Your Face Or Mine and Roast Battle together.

Carr, too, is to release another Netflix special as his current Best Of, Ultimate, Gold, Greatest Hits Tour was filmed at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin earlier this month.

Yesterday, Ryan’s run at the Garrick Theatre was extended to a fourth week.
