Comedy Central is launching a brand new digital series DATING HORROR STORIES hosted by Kyrah Gray, produced by Mother’s Best Child. The first episode is on Comedy Central's YouTube channel today.
DATING HORROR STORIES mixes humour with social commentary about 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. Cameos include Munya Chawawa, Kiell Smith-Bynoe and Ola Labib.
Commenting on her new presenting role Kyrah Gray said "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!"
The eight-part series will debut exclusively on Comedy Central’s YouTube Channel with the first episode available to watch today that features Munya Chawawa. Other guests include Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Kemah Bob, Axel Blake, Ola Labib, Hemah Kay, Demmy Ladipo, Kareem Kamar, Faceinthenews, Adéṣayọ̀ Tàlàbí.
The series was commissioned by Amie Parker-Williams who also serves as the Executive Producer for MTVE Digital. On the new series order Parker-Williams said “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 show was produced by Mother’s Best Child, the company behind Channel 4’s hit series The B@IT. Exec Producer Guy Davidson said that, “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 nightmare’s as much as we enjoyed recreating them!”
