[@Matt-cz6ti]

As a separated dad, I can confirm that doing the absolute bare minimum gets you hero status to the rest of the world. I was absolutely horrified when a work colleague once said I was "a great dad" just for having anything to do with my son after my ex and I split up. That's a horrifically low bar

[@christianone6611]

Thank you for being honest about it. It IS DEFINITELY true, but it's a relief to have a man acknowledge it. It's validating. Much appreciated.

[@cultfiction3865]

What the hell is this woman croaking on about?

[@destituteanddecadent9106]

HOW DID YOU DO IT!?

[@chimchimchow]

I feel the same exact way, I’m a single dad of a now 18 year old daughter, and everyone has always given me so much credit for just being around and present. She’s my child, it’s my responsibility to take care of her, and I love doing it, I don’t deserve a medal for that.

[@CiaoColeG]

Recently my mom praised a father who lives in a different city for driving 1 hour to see his son on his birthday. I told her (respectfully) that's what he's supposed to do!!! What possibly could be more normal than a parent celebrating their own kid's birthday??

[@NDMeow93]

lol clearly Americans aren't ready for a female comedian that is sarcastic and doesn't put herself down while pandering to male audience. It's okay, we are more than happy to keep her in the UK.

[@laurenl8664]

Natalie Di “doesn’t put herself down pandering to a male audience” Exactly. There’s a bunch of insecure men who probably live in their basement in these comments. I thought she was awesome.

[@shempone]

Lauren Lowry low standards

[@onemouthymerc]

There are plenty of male comedians that are extremely sarcastic about their kids and/or wife but that's different , apparently.

[@vlo4829]

Most comedians include themselves in the jokes. Not a gendered thing among comedians. Not a gendered thing among audiences. Oh, and Americans have been listening to and enjoying Canadian comedians long before Katherine Ryan. But keep her in the UK. You can't miss what you never cared aboot.

[@Twocrudedudes]

how do you even make that judgement? I'm American and she's hilarious. I watched her Netflix special and looked her up.

[@loonaticaaron]

I just watched her Netflix special, it was one of the best stand ups I've ever watched! She is truly a gem.

[@6strings735]

Very intelligent comedy, she is fantastic.

[@sophiahatsell4440]

Ready for “The Duchess”??!??!!!!!! So excited

[@nealcaffrey541]

Which one? I wanna try, i think there are a few now

[@GuidoIsMyRealName]

Audience was kinda weak--I thought she was pretty funny. DEFINITELY a better set than a lot of the ones posted to this channel.

[@chaton20]

The more pissed off men whine in the comments section, the funnier this gets. Genius!

[@catherineduong9241]

She’s one of my favourite comedians EVER. brilliant

[@Tht1Gy]

You got that right, Sister!

[@Tintin-dm4ym]

Why so many dislikes? She's amazing

[@kingda117]

Incels are stalking female comedians on KZbin.

[@kayvee256]

Incels are stalking female comedians on KZbin AND they're super triggered because she joked about her daughter's father being her enemy.

[@moonlily1]

Some men's penis retract into their bodies everytime a woman speaks on opinion.

[@4thgradedropout980]

It's less than ten percent. Seems pretty average. She wasn't bad.

[@stephenbailey7652]

She is ASTOUNDINGLY Talented. A Truly Great Heart !

[@iDavid4u]

She is so clever! I like her!

[@evilsoupkitchen3709]

The amount of insecure men in this comment section is astounding...

[@hanaomer4940]

@Jeff Bozo "I typically dislike female comedians but" please stop using her to discredit other female comedians. Schumer is a content thief, that's why she sucks not the fact that she's a woman. But everyone else is you being biased and hating on _female_ comedians.

[@Tht1Gy]

@@hanaomer4940 Well, I'm male and I think she is one of the funniest and smartest comic on the English speaking circuit.

[@diegorhoenisch62]

"The number of insecure men on the planet is astounding." Fixed that for you. Cheers, Alan Tomlinson

[@esol5750]

Me too, I love female comedians. HAHA! What did you laugh at?

[@dude_huge]

yikes

[@esol5750]

This woman inspires me to become a comedian. She makes me laugh. Check out my channel for elder scrolls tips. Spoiler alert: I speak Portuguese.

[@j.tt.4877]

Totally agree with you Kelly

[@workaholic888]

The Houdini bit got me chuckling nicely

[@SahilMakhijani]

Well it's about damn time we got a slice of her comedic presence. Here's hoping she can bring over Sara Pascoe as well

[@austenhead5303]

And Holly Walsh.

[@user13947]

MEN - stop disliking the female comedians because you cannot relate to them!!! It's getting old and starting to come off as pathetic. For once try to see things from the opposite gender's perspective like we women do all the time.

[@user13947]

Irving Teran, so you get it?

[@FutureAbe]

user13947 No

[@d4n4nable]

She comes off as shallow and exhausting. It's not that I dislike this becaues she's a woman, I dislike it because I see her as an uninteresting *person* without a unique angle or good sense of humor. If that was *the* female perspective, I wouldn't want to interact with women at all. Thankfully, a lot of gals (or most, I'd wager) are not like this. I don't know how much of herself she puts into her stage character, but if it's a lot, her 3y.o. daughter seems to be more mature, intelligent and thoughtful than her. I'd like to see her standup on what a moron her mother is.

[@user13947]

d4n4nable , fair enough, that is how I feel with the majority of the male comedians I see, but I realize that is part if their schtick and can appreciate it. I just feel that most men have a lower tolerance threshold for trying to understand female comedians in general if their subject material is based on a female's day-to-day experiences (which they see as boring/uninteresting), and therefore make a blanket statement that women are not funny.

[@pohandrek8182]

user139473, laydeeeeee here; and i find her obnoxious !!

[@TheMcShay]

Well... I liked it!

[@steh8831]

TheMcShay - same.

[@maldini2768]

that's what she said

[@rapportusrich474]

I did too :) and im a republican

[@tylerpenfold106]

When I was 11 I saw my mom watching this on tv before my parents divorced and I had it like in my brain but I only remembered it when I watched her Netflix special at about 13 and I remembered and had some pretty strong realizations. All this to say I love this bit:)

[@MrBrownnn696]

Haha mummy maybe next time you should ask the Uber driver.... lmfao

[@ShaMelBombdiggity]

I think she’s my spirit animal.😂💛

[@h0lly_blue]

love her on the UK panel quiz shows, her performance on Big Fat Quiz of Everything this year with Aisling Bea was hilarious

[@Tht1Gy]

Check out her Live at the Apollo clips. Pure gold.

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

I love Katherine, she’s sarcastic funny even kinda truthful...and of course so gorgeous she’s definitely very welcome here in the uk .

[@Tht1Gy]

I LOVE!!! this woman. One of the SMARTEST comics working today.

[@LB-gz3ke]

Katherine is what Amy Schumer wants to be: smart, funny and likable.

[@Tht1Gy]

I know, right? :-D

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Meh. Debatable.

[@nickdouglas736]

'You are not the las Stella McCartney Dress in a sample sell, what do you want me to do?' Damn that's cold. And brilliant.

[@leiyo2]

Seen many videos of her and I just freakin love her humor!

[@TheValo84]

Just watch her on Cats Does Countdown. She is pure gold.

[@Tht1Gy]

I know, right? That's where I first saw her. It was " 'love at first sight' of that comic". Or 'listen".

[@destroythehuman3380]

In case I meet a Jewish man.... and then hellooooo Alex Edelman 😂😂

[@syn58tim]

I love this Lady, my kind of humor for sure, clever.

[@rudyl5077]

I love her. Her Apollo stand up is great as well.

A Canadian who is most popular in the UK appearing on one of the top chat shows in the US... awesome!

What's her dress brand? It's gorgeous

just gonna comment 2 years after the fact in case someone gives you an answer because i'm also curious, lol.

[@colormeplaid]

@@delusionalduckling you're just out here doing the lord's work, haha. thank you so much!!

[@jameswills5298]

I really like Katherine but this isn't anywhere near what she's capable of. I know comics only get a small amount of time on Conan but she's rushing through the jokes. She's not giving herself a chance to breathe, or the audience a chance to get on board with the set up before they hear the punch line. She's stepping on her own toes here which is a shame. Seems like it was just nerves. She's normally great though. Also, if you're the kind of person that came here just to dislike the video or say "Women aren't funny", I'm sure she's flattered you managed to find the time in between crying in to your microwave burrito's to click on the video.

[@TuanNguyen-ko9wz]

She did the same gags much much better on Apollo Live.

[@doovbaloevera1430]

Cheers Dr Comedy.

[@OzNix05]

It’s an American audience, they don’t get her humour.

[@Tht1Gy]

Dude! She has to 'tone it down' for America's censors and cancel culture. Don't want to offend anyone watching Conan, now do we...

[@Tht1Gy]

@@OzNix05 No, we don't 'allow' her humor, what with censors and cancel culture. She's too RAW. I LOVE this woman.

[@1spitfirepilot]

She's great.

[@margicates553]

I’m loving her sets!

[@caraparrishmarketing4100]

She and Tiffany Haddish are my favorite comedians right now. They're killin' it!

The fact that this is comedy nowadays is shocking. Bring back the legends.

where has she been all this time! this was brilliant

She is so funny, i love her comedy!!!

[@randallphobia8698]

Katherine is chaos, & that’s why I love her. She is my favorite Taskmaster winner because she knew how to look dumb in a smart way. I was watching convinced that she always had a secret clever plan.

[@lfdrumming7804]

She's funny on British panel shows. She's good on 8 out of 10 cats.

[@getitstandswithukraine6637]

I love this!

[@stephen.]

She was so funny at the Apollo 😂

[@ravernot8889]

The cut right after 3:40 makes me wonder what we missed...

[@shmookins]

I don't think I've seen a Conan comic with camera cuts before. Any reason for that? Did she go over the time limit or something?

[@SO_DIGITAL]

Love that Houdini joke. She's lovely!

[@goldenangele7913]

She’s gotten so much better 😄

[@Tht1Gy]

... and she started out at the top of her game, too... ;-)

[@kitkatsnackattack03]

It was a fine set. Nothing great, nothing really terrible. I don't know why people have to be extreme in saying either all women are funny or no women are funny. It's the same for men, some are in fact funny, some are not.

KATHERINE RYAN FOR THE BACHELORETTE!!

[@tmystery9505]

Freaking love her 💜

[@maddythinks]

She is good. Snide, and sociology oriented

[@DragonWolfEntertainmentFilms]

Well, in my opinion, the 5 minute talk show format isn't a lot of people's forte. Kathrine, for example, shines more in the spontaneous off-the-cuff stuff, and more so in the long-form story based call-backs. This video is more of a drive-by...machine gunning as much stuff as she can. If you want to see her in true form, check out her concert on Netflix "Kathrine Ryan: In Trouble"...that's where she shines.

[@bmarkrundle]

Now I know what happened to all my old ties.

hillaryous. thanks.

[@msscrazybuthappy]

Hahaha I love her!!!!

This is my newest go-to woman standup

[@pop5678eye]

3:44 I imagine she finished that joke a bit more vulgar which is why it had to be edited.

[@JohnnyCatFitz]

seems to be a case of her chosen material. remember that commercial where Seinfeld was in Britain bombing at his show then went around learning the local culture and that saved his show. she seems a bit like that.

[@drewbiewildstar6917]

This was good.

her netflix special is much more natural (bearing in mind she has to keep this version clean for television), relaxed and very, very funny. give it a watch, she's great.

[@vineflower]

Katherine Ryan is super funny, somehow just didn't click on this one. Which is so ironical, since she's super huge in the UK!
