Su questo episodio

The fabulous comedian, podcaster, actor, and writer Katherine Ryan joins Liv for this week’s episode of So Wrong It’s Right! The pair reminisce about their childhoods in Canada and the major adjustments they faced upon moving to the UK, adjustments Katherine says she doesn’t miss. Katherine shares her candid views on British comedians, highlighting the stark contrast between their self-loathing tendencies and the more self-assured American comics. Openly discussing the start of her career, Katherine reveals how working at Hooters helped her form her views on feminism and how she discovered her comedic talent at a young age but felt pressured to hide it as society often valued beauty and silence over wit. Hear Katherine put the ‘scheduling sex’ rumours to bed and talk frankly about the fat shaming she received after gaining weight after having kids.
