Media caption Katharine Ryan explains how she fell into comedy after working in Hooters

It's not often that an interviewee greets you with the offer of a glass of "day wine" or "night
wine" but then it's not every day you meet someone like Katherine Ryan.

The joke started when her nine-year-old daughter thought white wine and red wine were served
according to the time of day, and it's now become a part of her stand-up routine.

We meet the Canadian comedian as she is getting ready for her second show in London's West End
and she immediately makes a joke about how many layers of make-up she's wearing.

This year has been a big one for the comic, who has signed with Netflix to put out her current tour,
Glitter Room, as a comedy special and has also filmed a new panel show in the US for the streaming
service with Jimmy Carr.

Whilst Ryan is known for her sharp commentary on social and political issues, she is equally
recognised for her enviable collection of designer clothes, perfect hair and glossy make-up on stage.

She tells the BBC that when it comes to "being glamorous... there's no right kind of woman or
feminist".
