Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan seems rarely off our TV screens and this Christmas we'll see her on Channel 4’s annual Big Fat Quiz of the Year. The show, which is hosted by Jimmy Carr, also features Stephen Merchant, Richard Ayoade, Maisie Adams, Jonathan Ross and Rose Matafeo as part of the line up. The long-time stand-up has an amazing love story with her partner, Bobby Koostra, with who she was prom queen alongside his prom king back in high school.
But years later the couple reconnected thanks to a chance meeting while the comic was filming an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?
Star of The Duchess on Netflix and a regular on panel shows like Would I Lie to You and 8 Out of 10 Cats, Katherine moved to the UK in 2007 when she worked as a trainer for American bar chain, Hooters and came here to help set up the first venue in the country, in Nottingham. As well as working in Hooters while at university, studying city planning, she also discovered her love of stand-up, performing at open-mic nights.
