Katherine Ryan, the Canadian comedian and star of UKTV’s Parental Guidance, returned to The London Palladium in the West End from Thursday 10 to Saturday 12 April 2025. She played three more nights of her stand-up tour Battleaxe.
Ryan grew up in Ontario, the daughter of a draughtsman who had emigrated from Ireland, and holds Canadian and Irish citizenship. While at university in Toronto she worked for Hooters, then trained its staff and helped open its first branch in Britain, in Nottingham.
She settled in London in 2008. Her stand-up reached a wide audience on the BBC’s Live at the Apollo, where she has appeared as both a featured act and the headliner.
On television she starred in Missus for Sky in 2022. She also hosted Backstage With Katherine Ryan for Amazon Prime and appeared with Romesh Ranganathan in Sky’s Romantic Getaway.
These dates were sold alongside her three Palladium nights in March, which opened her London run of Battleaxe a month earlier.
