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, pictured below, is another belter.

“I was always odd,” she replies. 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 stand-up specials and performing across the globe.

Louis is invited to Katherine’s home for a frank conversation about her life, including the experience of raising her now 13-year-old daughter Violet as a single mother.
