About this listen
The instant Sunday Times best seller from the star of Netflix's The Duchess, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Your Face or Mine and host of All That Glitters.
I've come to accept that being audacious is a gift I can't escape.
People 'know' my on-stage comedy persona or my scripted ballsy characters and wrongly assume that at home, I must stomp around all day in designer dresses eviscerating those who dare to cross my path and denouncing the existence of men in general. But mostly, I'm just sat eating pickles and being nice to some dogs.
Whatever strangers think of me is fine with me. How audacious is that? I can always take a joke, I don't waste time worrying about things I can't control and I have zero anxiety. I embrace the reality that you just can't please everyone, so you might as well put yourself out there and have a laugh. As my mother always said, 'Katherine, if we all liked the same thing, we'd all be married to your father'.
I'm often asked how I developed my lurid level of courage and assurance and for tips on how others can match. The Audacity is my chance to share my blueprint for just that. You will learn:
- How to become the most popular girl in school.
- How to waste all your money on designer dogs.
- How to attract toxic men...and keep them interested!
And so much more.... Plus, secrets! Secrets are my favourite things to be told and I figured I'd better tell a few juicy ones myself. Why not? No matter what I do, there will always be something about me that reads as simply, outrageously audacious. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
As if that wasn't enough, this audiobook includes exclusive content from my mum, Julie McCarthy. It's amazing. It's like a book within the audiobook.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Audacious!
Love Katherine Ryan and loved this book! Katherine tackled some difficult topics with grace and sass as always. It felt like a deep, inspiring, well thought out and fun conversation with a good friend (albeit one sided). Her voice is easy and pleasant to listen to. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing your stories with us. I am even more in awe of this intelligent and classy comedian!

The audacity!
Love it, real, informative, funny, and refreshing for a ‘celebrity memoir’. Like listening to stories from a big sister or best friend, will have you laughing and crying.

A must read… or listen
Wow! I feel I do not have the right words to say or explain how amazing this book is. Comedy / real life. I laughed, nearly cried and said yeah out loud more than once rolled in with a few loud mmmhmms. I wish younger me had a book like this earlier but I’m glad I have it to read now.
Not only is Katherine Ryan funny and smart, her voice is next level. I could listen to her talk about anything and everything. I was excited to hear her mother and it all made sense. What a bunch of bad a** women!
If you want comedy, to learn about Katherine and her experiences as well as some life lessons and strong female empowerment. Then this is for you 🙌🏻

Loved this
Katherine is hilarious and genuine and a great narrator. I loved the Duchess and have since watched her standup so figured I would give the book a try. Glad I did. Thoroughly enjoyed listening, and as someone also in their 30s the references to growing up in the 90s and early 00s was perfect nostalgia for how ridiculous it was. Looking forward to devouring more Katherine content.
