- Katherine Ryan is a Canadian comedienne and TV personality based in London, England.
In her relatively-short time as a professional stand-up, Katherine has performed at Yuk Yuks venues across Canada, clubs throughout England, and the world-famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles, and was featured on NBC's Last Comic Standing. She was a red-carpet guest at The 2007 Much Music Video Awards, The Playboy Mansion, and has appeared on national TV programs in the US, Canada, and the UK.
Audiences note that Katherine exudes a wholesome sweetness, making her edgy in-your-face material even more shocking. Her look says 'piano recital'. Her mouth says 'choke on your mother's implants'. Truly an irreverent treat for the whole family.

- I don't blame Americans for wanting to come to Canada. I'm very proud to be Canadian. Some have said we should build a wall, the way Trump (Donald Trump) suggests doing, to keep them out. And Americans are of course larger than Mexicans, the wall wouldn't even need to be very high.
