As an avid fan of Katherine Ryan, I was excited when she released her first book. You'd think after reading many a comedian book, I'd be used to the revelations and thoughtful anecdotes this genre of book often features. And yet! Katherine shares so much of herself and her story in this book. Some that she has told before and some that she hasn't, but through it all, it's undoubtedly Katherine Ryan - real, straightforward, hilarious, and audacious.
I recommend this book (and all her work) to anyone that appreciates comedy.

Warm and honest, The Audacity is a book that you can dive easily into, and then don't want to put down. Ryan is the big sister you've always wanted on the page, delivering humour, sincerity, life lessons, authenticity, and vulnerability.
