FOLLOWING a totally sold-out run recently at London’s Soho Theatre and at the Edinburgh Festival, Katherine Ryan arrives at Comedy Hall in Tiverton on Saturday November 8.

In Katherine Ryan’s homeland of Canada, it isn’t unheard of for women to expose their breasts in public.

To her amusement, however, here in the UK this questionable pastime actually has a title, ‘glamour modelling’.

Don’t get her wrong – being an ex-Hooters employee, Katherine’s not averse to females making the most of their assets. Sex sells, and she’s aware of this.

What does get her goat, however, is not so much what glamour models do as what they don’t do: Speak. Besides saying what they are told to say, the only words they seem to utter in public are eviction nominations on Celebrity Big Brother. Would it do them any harm to have something important to say?

Glam Role Model takes a look at the murky world of the beauty industry and examines the role of models who provide its bread and butter.

Everyone deserves a voice, and Katherine Ryan invites you to celebrate and strengthen yours through laughter.

Comedy Hall organiser Steve Lodge said: “Katherine Ryan is a rising star and it’s refreshing that she is competing at the highest levels in what is still seen as a male-dominated art form.

“Whether it’s right that she’s using her Hollywood good looks as a way to get there is another thing altogether, but behind the stockings and lip gloss is some brilliant comedic insight and quick wit that will ensure she becomes recognised for her talent and not just her legs.”
