LOUIS THEROUX
INTERVIEWS KATHERINE RYAN BBC2, 9pm
“Were you always funny?” Louis always knows how to get straight to the point and this interview with Canadian comedian, actor and writer Katherine Ryan is another belter.
“I was always odd,” she replies in this penultimate interview of the series. Since her arrival in the UK 15 years ago Katherine has become one of the UK’s most outspoken performers, and her career has grown from appearances on British panel shows to writing and executive producing her own television stand-up specials and performing in venues across the globe.
Louis is invited to Katherine’s home for a no-holds-barred conversation about her life and her comedy, including raising her now 13-year-old daughter Violet as a single mum.
Louis also accompanies Katherine as she performs her latest stand-up tour Missus in Southend as well as a surprise set at a London comedy club.
And he also spends a rare day off with Katherine, her husband Bobby and Violet.
