Dating Horror Stories sketch show launches on Comedy Central
Comedian Kyrah Gray is fronting Dating Horror Stories, an eight-part sketch show for Comedy Central's online channels.
The channel explains: "Dating Horror Stories is a fresh digital sketch show from Comedy Central UK, blending humour with social commentary on modern dating. Fronted by rising comedic star Kyrah Gray, each episode revolves around the experiences of a single Black woman and the stereotypes and anxieties associated with dating in the 21st century. Celebrity cameos include Munya Chawawa, Kiell Smith-Bynoe and Ola Labib."
Kyrah Gray says: "We've created something that we're all super proud of that can hopefully give my dating comrades a little lift. Hang in there, guys! Don't take it too seriously - just send it to your situationship and laugh a little!"
Executive producer Amie Parker-Williams comments: "At Comedy Central, we're huge fans of Kyrah and are excited to collaborate with her once again on this sketch series. By examining culture and courtship through a comedic lens, we offer our viewers a fresh perspective while exploring diverse experiences in the dating world. Guaranteeing plenty of laughs along the way."
The episodes have been produced by Mother's Best Child, the production company behind Channel 4's hit series The B@IT. Guy Davidson says: "Working with Comedy Central UK and Kyrah on Dating Horror Stories has been nothing short of a dream. We hope that everyone enjoys watching Kyrah's dating nightmares as much as we enjoyed recreating them!"
The first episode is below. It observes as a dreamy Hinge date turns into a nightmare when Kyrah and Anton (Munya Chawawa) drink a cocktail that makes them say what they're really thinking.
