Nick and Angela welcome their first guest of series 6 to Dish HQ.

Comedian Katherine Ryan hails from Ontario, Canada. She studied town planning at university in Toronto before making the move to the UK in 2008. Katherine is one of the hardest working comics on the circuit. She makes regular TV appearances on panel shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats, has recorded many live comedy specials and even has her own drama series, The Duchess, on Netflix. Katherine has a podcast called Telling Everybody Everything and she and her family have just filmed series 2 of At Home with Katherine Ryan. She is currently touring her new stand-up show, Battleaxe, around the UK and Europe.

Katherine enjoys a drink that is cold and clear, so Nick goes for an elderflower and mint martini while Angela is busy preparing a mouth-watering baked trout with chilli & ginger. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Yalumba organic viognier from Southern Australia.

There are few people more straight-talking than Katherine Ryan, who entertains Nick and Angela with funny food and family anecdotes, and recalls how a job at Hooters helped her find her calling.

Nick and Angela recorded the very first Dish Live at the London Podcast Festival with comedian and writer Sophie Willan on 12 September. The show is available to watch online until 29 September and you can purchase a viewing pass here.

We can’t all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help.
