ok.co.ukKatherine Ryan has discussed an unnamed "dangerous comic", whom she alleges is a "perpetrator of sexual assault." The comedian, 40, opened up about how she worked with the unnamed male comic in the past during an appearance on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs.
Explaining how she had had to choose between either turning down work or working with the comedian, Katherine said: "I had a choice - I could go to work with someone who I believe to be a perpetrator of sexual assault or I could turn down the job.Those were my options.
