The Audacity: The first memoir from superstar comedian Katherine Ryan | Katherine Ryan

2 posts | 5 read | 1 to read

From the star of Netflix's The Duchess and host of 'Telling Everybody Everything' 'I've come to accept that being audacious is a gift I can't escape.' People 'know' my on-stage comedy persona or my scripted ballsy characters and wrongly assume that at home, I must stomp around all day in designer dresses eviscerating those who dare to cross my path and denouncing the existence of men in general. But mostly, I'm just sat eating pickles and being nice to some dogs. Whatever strangers think of me is fine with me. How audacious is that? I can always take a joke, I don't waste time worrying about things I can't control, and I have zero anxiety. I embrace the reality that you just can't please everyone, so you might as well put yourself out there and have a laugh. As my mother always said, 'Katherine, if we all liked the same thing, we'd all be married to your father'. I'm often asked how I developed my lurid level of courage and assurance and for tips on how others can match. The Audacity is my chance to share my blueprint for just that. You will learn: How to Become The Most Popular Girl in School How to Waste All Your Money on Designer Dogs How to Attract Toxic Men... AND Keep Them Interested! And so much more... Plus, secrets! Secrets are my favourite things to be told and I figured I'd better tell a few juicy ones myself. Why not? No matter what I do, there will always be something about me that reads as simply, outrageously audacious. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

I've been a huge admirer of Katherine for years so was very excited when I saw she has a book out. The book was a lot more hard hitting than I was expecting, I always see her as light & fun but she has been through some darkness to get where she is now & it was interesting to see snippets of how she came to be who she is. The last paragraphs of the final chapter spoke to me so deeply that I now recite her advice in my head. Would recommend a read.

I think maybe The Audacity suffered from the fact that I‘ve read so many truly brilliant memoirs lately; by comparison, it fell flat for me. Something about Ryan‘s voice and approach just felt… off. She has a very matter-of-fact tone, which I‘d normally like, except it was coupled with 20/20 hindsight; she doesn‘t really bring the reader along with her.
