About
Award-winning comedian, writer, presenter and actress
Born and raised in a small town in Ontario, Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan found comedy stardom after she relocated to London. Finding kindred spirits on the capital's stand-up scene helped the former Hooters staff trainer (Ryan claimed she was fired for writing "club sandwiches not seals" on a specials board) hone her voice and progress from open mic nights to eventually becoming a familiar face on panel shows and a team captain on 8 Out Of 10 Cats.
Ryan proved herself to be something of a spiritual successor to the late Joan Rivers, due to her fondness for caustic put-downs and willingness to venture into dangerous territory in pursuit of a joke. These traits also earned her a spot alongside the similarly minded Jimmy Carr on Channel 4’s Your Face Or Mine and Netflix panel show The Fix.
By 2019, Ryan had cemented a productive partnership with the streaming giant, including two well received comedy specials, Glitter Room and In Trouble. An appearance on Who Do You Think You Are? led to a trip home to Canada and a reconnection with her childhood sweetheart, who she later married in 2019. That same year, Katherine Ryan toured the UK for a second time.
In 2020, Netflix released the sitcom The Duchess, written by and starring Ryan as a single mother in London. Ryan has said the series is a heightened version of her own life story, particularly in her portrayal of a single mother in a foreign city.
In late 2020, Katherine Ryan announced her Missus UK tour, which eventually ended its sell-out international run in 2022 - the same year she hosted her own six-part global flagship series for Amazon Prime: Backstage With Katherine Ryan. She has also hosted two series of the hit primetime BBC Two jewelry-making competition series All That Glitters.
In 2023, Ryan starred in the Sky Original comedy series, Romantic Getaway, with Romesh Ranganathan, as well as The Lionesses: A League of Their Own special with Jill Scott and Maisie Adam. She also surprised everyone with her performance on The Masked Singer as the much loved Pigeon, and hosted UKTV’s hugely popular new series Parental Guidance.
Ryan announced her return to the stage in 2024 with a brand-new UK and European tour, Battleaxe.

Wow! What a woman!
by Kellie on 03/11/2024Swansea Arena - SwanseaRating: 5 out of 5My 18 year old daughter and I had a wonderful time at Saturday's Battleaxe show. The arena is fabulous but Katherine Ryan is even better! My absolute favourite comic … and pretty much my favourite woman! Her acerbic wit and unfailingly honest, accurate observations never fail to get me - absolutely brilliant! Can't wait until the next time we can see her - outstanding!
Captivating Katherine
by Yorkie on 12/10/2024York Barbican - YorkRating: 5 out of 5This the second time that we have seen Katherine Ryan in York. She is so quick witted and entertaining. Katherine engages with the audience and never disappoints. Absolutely brilliant. Come back to York again soon!
Superb!
by Kezza T on 12/10/2024York Barbican - YorkRating: 5 out of 5Funny and very quick-witted! Katherine Ryan is excellent!
Brilliant entertainment
by Alfie on 06/10/2024Bournemouth Pavilion - BournemouthRating: 5 out of 5Katherine is a very intelligent, full on, in your face comedian. The show is in 2 parts. The first is an extremely funny biopic of her husband and children, whilst going into some of her own amusing; personal background. The 2nd half is based on texts sent by the audience, which are generally sexually biased and from which Katherine exploit's every amusing aspect to the full. Exceptional humour and a brilliant show.
Fabulous as always
by Emily on 29/09/2024Pyramid and Parr Hall - WarringtonRating: 5 out of 5Great show. Gets audience involved well First half, stand up, 2nd half audience participation
