The comedian Katherine Ryan has spoken on Desert Island Discs about the moment she decided to confront a male comedian over allegations of predatory behaviour.
Last month Deadline reported that Russell Brand, who is facing allegations of sexual assault and rape against him after an investigation by the Times, the Sunday Times and Channel 4 Dispatches first published on 16 September, was dropped from Comedy Central’s Roast Battle in 2018 after Brand was reluctant to be roasted when Ryan, repeatedly accused him of being a “sexual predator” in comments which were not broadcast.
