À propos de cet audio

From the star of the hit Netflix series The Duchess comes a brilliantly funny, fiercely honest, and dangerously astute handbook of life instruction.

"I’ve come to accept that being audacious is a gift I can’t escape."

People "know" my on-stage comedy persona or my scripted ballsy characters and wrongly assume that I must stomp around all day in designer dresses eviscerating those who dare to cross my path. But mostly, I’m just sitting eating pickles and being nice to some dogs.

Whatever strangers think of me is fine with me. How audacious is that? I can always take a joke; I don’t waste time worrying about things I can’t control. I embrace the reality that you just can’t please everyone, so you might as well put yourself out there and have a laugh. As my mother always said, "Katherine, if we all liked the same thing, we’d all be married to your father."

I’m often asked how I developed my lurid level of courage and assurance and for tips on how others can match. The Audacity is my chance to share my blueprint for just that. You will learn:

  • How To Be the Most Popular Girl in School
  • How to Waste All Your Money on Designer Dogs
  • How To Attract Toxic Men… AND Keep Them Interested!
  • And so much more…

Secrets are my favorite things to be told and I figured I’d better tell a few juicy ones myself, too. Why not? No matter what I do, there will always be something about me that reads as simply, outrageously audacious.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Named a Best Book of 2021 by the Financial Times and The Times

"Katherine is one of the smartest, funniest voices in comedy...an icon of our time. This book is absolutely hilarious, deeply insightful and truly original. You will love and devour The Audacity." (Lou Sanders)

"I am in love with Katherine's writing. The Audacity is exhilarating - fierce, funny and brilliantly written, but there is so much tenderness, honesty and generosity too. I loved every joke but was also deeply moved by its frankness, and the story of contemporary womanhood. It's a book I want to give to every woman I love." (Daisy Buchanan)

"Outrageously brilliant! Katherine's straight-talking, no-nonsense book is the honesty we all need. I'm buying this for all my friends." (Laura Whitmore)

Great Book, and Definitely Does Not Drag On.

I really enjoyed this book and hearing the story of how Katherine found her style. She is a fast reader so it will definitely keep you on your toes and interested. It might have been just me, but I found the humour was stealthy and often found that I was laughing at something that I didn't even know was going to be funny. I think for me, that was the most enjoyable part.
I didn't know who Katherine was before this but afterwards I made a point of finding and watching some of her Netflix specials.

Instant Binge

I promised myself I would pace this out but finished it the day it came out!
I looovveee listening to her weekly(ish) podcast, and this is just an extension of that luxury.
She is so candid, funny and authentic - and it kind of feels like you are having a nice long (one-sided) chat with your best friend.
Her voice is a gift from the ASMR gods, and the pacing and stories she shares are *chefs kiss*
I recommend this book to anyone looking for a laugh, being privy to some truly earnest moments, and coming away with some wonderful little nuggets of wisdom.
Truly a book for the girls, gays and theys, but I would looovvee if more cis/het men would grow up and embrace Katherine Ryan as their lord and saviour.
Anyways I’m obsessed. Listen to it, you won’t regret it!

Exceeded expectations

I listen to Katherine's podcast and have watched her stand-up specials multiple times. I was worried that this book wouldn't have much nee for me but I was wrong! Hilarious, sweet, honest and the bonus Mom content was A+ 👏

I could not have expected better. Always witty, never taking herself too seriously, she's a breath of fresh air, while being so relatable. I will listen again!
