Ready to Talk with Emma Barnett - Being Unlikeable with Katherine Ryan

Download Being Unlikeable with Katherine Ryan

Katherine Ryan has learned not to care about not being liked as she’s risen from single mum on the poverty line to become one of the most successful comedians working in the UK.

In a conversation just two and a half weeks after Katherine gave birth to her fourth child, she discusses plastic surgery, working in Hooters, and how she developed her caustic onstage persona. But she also reveals how her personal life has not always matched that public persona.

In Ready to Talk with Emma Barnett, the award-winning interviewer speaks to people you will know and people you should know about the experiences that are shaping their lives.
