Comic Katherine Ryan speaks after Russell Brand scandal: 'all men are sick'

Comedian Katherine Ryan made her longest public appearance since the Russell Brand scandal as she hosted the Glamour Women of the Year Awards at London's One Marylebone last night.

Appearing to address the saga, Ryan said on stage: “Men are sick, that’s right, all men". She went on to joke about her credentials as a feminist comic. "What a relief for me that I finally have a son. So that when people correctly accuse me of unfairly targeting all men in my stand-up comedy, I can say, no not me, I have a little boy, a baby son, far from it" she said. "That is the perfect smokescreen for my feminist agenda. My two year old is a toxic male who plays with monster trucks day in and day out."
