Katherine Ryan: Work in Progress interview
Interview with Katherine Ryan.
Kate Copstick, Edinburgh Festivals, 25th July 2016Latitude: reflections on a weekend of comedy
Latitude has often used the tag-line 'more than just a music festival' and with an extensive arts line-up that's certainly true. The Suffolk festival has also grown into one of the largest comedy programmes on the circuit. The tents may now have been dismantled, but Fergus Morgan reflects back on a weekend's mirth in the festival's purple comedy arena.
Fergus Morgan, The Reviews Hub, 20th July 2016In the last in the series of Taskmaster, Greg Davies's taskees have all to play for, with an overall series winner set to be crowned out of contestants Doc Brown, Jon Richardson, Katherine Ryan, Joe Wilkinson and Richard Osman. Among this week's tasks are transporting a range of groceries over a small river and into a shopping trolley, and making a stop-motion film starring a potato. To the victor, the spoils, which includes a golden bust of Davies's head.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 19th July 2016Taskmaster: series two, episode 5 review
The final episode in this series witnesses the Taskmaster trophy finally presented, and a horror film starring, yes, a potato.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 19th July 2016Latitude review: Katherine Ryan
Ryan is a star and she knows it, mockingly dubbing herself "TV's Katherine Ryan" but in this performance she sensibly introduced herself to people who may not have seen her onstage before and offered a bit about her Canadian background, growing up in the industrial town of Sarnia - "like Swindon without the character".
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 16th July 2016Dapper laughs: comedians with a sense of style
Some of the Fringe's top comedians reveal why they dress to impress on stage.
Brian Donaldson, The List, 12th July 2016Taskmaster: series Two, episode 4 - review
In the penultimate episode of the series we witness a hostage taking, fruit hiding and vegetable constructing.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 12th July 2016Taskmaster: series two, episode 3 review
In this week's episode of Taskmaster we see artistic silhouettes, a huge number of Calippos, and the return of old friends.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 5th July 2016Taskmaster: series two - episode 2 review
On this week's episode of the comedy challenge show, we watch some disturbing music videos, horrible culinary habits, and learn that Joe Wilkinson looks like a battered toaster.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 28th June 2016TV review: Taskmaster, Dave
It is no surprise that comedians are ruthlessly competitive. What I didn't realise until Taskmaster came along was how cunning and crafty they can be when he comes to getting one over on their stand-up rivals.
