On a recent episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan stole the spotlight with her quick wit and humorous anecdotes. The lively talk show, which is a major hit in the UK, welcomed Ryan as a guest, and she certainly made her mark on the audience.
Ryan, who has been living in the UK since 2008, shared her experience of adjusting to life across the pond. Being a self-proclaimed “ornery Britney,” she poked fun at herself and the cultural differences she has encountered. From the straightforwardness of Londoners to the unique vocabulary, Ryan had the audience in stitches with her observations.
But it wasn’t just her humor that captivated the audience. Ryan opened up about her personal life, discussing topics such as relationships and motherhood. With her trademark sarcasm, she jokingly remarked about being single and reaching the age of Celine Dion. Ryan also shared her thoughts on dating British men and the pressure society places on women to settle down and have children.
The talk show host, Jonathan Ross, also quizzed Ryan about her experience working on the comedy show “Your Face or Mine” alongside Jimmy Carr. Ryan praised Carr for his professionalism and work ethic, while also mentioning their collaboration on the upcoming show “Roast Battle.”
During the interview, Ryan humorously revealed a surprising fact from her past – she used to work at Hooters. She clarified that people in the UK might not be familiar with Hooters, mistakenly thinking it is a family restaurant. Ryan took the opportunity to clarify that Hooters is, in fact, an owl sanctuary. Her comedic timing and dry humor had everyone laughing.
When asked about her experience with online dating, Ryan amusingly remarked that she wouldn’t dare venture into the world of dating apps. As a single mom, she cherishes her time with her eight-year-old daughter, and online dating doesn’t quite fit into her life at the moment. Ryan shared her appreciation for being able to provide for her daughter and the opportunities she has as an immigrant single mother.
The conversation took a lighthearted turn as Ryan discussed her glitter-themed home and her upcoming tour, aptly titled “Glitter Room.” She jokingly mentioned the struggles of dealing with builders and their refusal to allow glitter in the house if she wanted a man to live there. The audience couldn’t help but be entertained by her humorous take on everyday challenges.
While Ryan’s material may be adult-oriented, she shared that her daughter occasionally joins her on tour weekends and even sings at the end of some shows. However, the eight-year-old is not allowed to watch her mother’s performances due to the adult content.
With her bold sense of humor and relatable stories, Katherine Ryan left the audience wanting more. Her appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show was undoubtedly a hit, showcasing her comedic talent and leaving everyone in stitches.
