At the end of the halls of a Brooklyn photo studio, we find comedian Katherine Ryan in the middle of a
friendly row about the Kardashians with fashion photographer Ryan Michael Kelly. “I understand what
you’re saying, but I am one of the great supporters of the Kardashians,” Katherine tells Ryan. She turns
with a warm smile, as they put their conversation of celebrities on hold, and offers a soda. We sit down to

instantly discuss Katherine’s humble beginnings in Canada and forming a sisterhood with her co-workers
when working at Hooters. While she narrated her story, quick wit seemed to roll off her tongue. The fact
that she doesn’t let criticism crawl under her skin made her that much more charming. We dabbled in fake
news and how society is a consumer of fame. Katherine went on to explain what good comedy really is

and how it can deliver the sincerest form of truth.

The Canada-born, UK-based stand-up comedian who has been dominating the UK television and live

comedy scenes, has made her mark in the US with her very own Netflix Original Comedy Special.
Katherine is only the second British-based comedian to do so, after Jimmy Carr.
