S3 Ep15: Bookshelfie: Katherine Ryan (Live at Latitude)
Recorded in front of a live audience at Latitude festival, comedian and writer Katherine Ryan tells Yomi why no-one should be scared to be disliked.
Katherine is a stalwart of all the big TV comedy panel shows, she’s presented numerous other programmes, and last year she wrote, starred in and executive produced her own sitcom, The Duchess, about a single mum living in London, which leapt to the top of the Netflix charts.
She’s also toured sold out venues across the world with her stand-up shows, she hosts the chart-topping candid conversation podcast, Telling Everybody Everything AND she’s also found time to write her first book - The Audacity - a hilarious autobiography where she details her journey from a naïve ex-Hooters waitress fresh off the boat from Canada to comedy megastar. It’s out on September 30th and you can pre-order it here: https://bit.ly/KRAudacity.
Katherine’s book choices are:
** How to Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran
** Bossypants by Tina Fey
** Yes Please by Amy Poehler
** Everybody Died So I Got a Dog by Emily Dean
** Jessica Simpson‘s autobiography Open Book
