Katherine Ryan

[wjwren]

Anyone find her funny? Just watched her on BBC Apollo. Awful.

[sparkythecat]

She used to be funny, but over exposure has made her much less so.

[Yipper]

Ryan was hot and funny a while back.

Now she's losing her looks and just churning out virtue-signaling leftie "jokes" like all the other dozens of second-rate "right on" standups out there. Trying desperately to be on-message rather than funny.

Frankie Boyle, the same. Looks fat and old and unwell and has dramatically lost the cutting edge that made him so good 5-10 years ago. Now he looks like one of those slurring drunks you see at Glasgow rail station.

As said, she used to be funny, unlike Miranda Hart, who is as funny as toothache.

[Cold]

I went with my daughter to see her stand-up show while she was touring back in November. Much better live than on the TV and interacted well with the audience. Yes, her routine was female-centric to a certain degree as you'd expect, but she was very good at her storytelling and kept me amused throughout.

She is quite funny on quiz shows, caught a little bit of her stand-up as wasn't as impressed.

[85Carrera]

She was very good on "How did you get so rich?"

Not seen her in anything else or her stand up.

[captain_cynic]

She's always seemed to be shaped a bit out of proportion to me.

But I've not found her funny... but she seems to be in a fair few shows that have funny people around her.

She's got a long face like a horse, apart from that she's quite fit, but comes across as a smug PITA.

[LiamB]

I most definitely would.

[Robbo 27]

Katherine defines herself as a Pound Shop Scarlett Johansson, I am not sure that is fair.


Most people would expect change.

Nope not at all funny in my opinion either, much like Miranda Hart who managed to get her own tv series delivering crap jokes in an ungainly fashion.i know that’s possibly part of her persona but for me it’s just awkward.

Always being PC on PH is not a requirement!
Thank the Lord!

Had to Google her, she was on the Big Fat quiz of the Year, which I watched last night, obviously she didn't make much of an impression!

No offence, but if you had to google her, you’re not really a fan of the type of comedy she is part of
I like her, I think she is an equally funny as any of the comedians she regularly appears with on TV

Amazing how people who want to take offence see what they want to see.

There are ten posts above yours, only four of which make any reference to her looks.

So not 'most'.

ETA and only one only refers to her looks and doesn't refer to her comedic talents at all.

So only one reply (10% if you prefer) "based on her looks rather than her material".

Most comedians are more concerned with maintaining the moral high ground now and that for me spoils it, those that dare to be edgy will be the ones that will shine imo. The Franky Boils of this world might be offensive but it’s more real world than those who pander!
