    Ryan talks a lot about Taylor Swift because Taylor Swift is pretty much perfect. The only dirt she could dig up on Swift was the time she sent a misguided tweet to Nicki Minaj, who had criticized the VMAs for nominating videos with slim bodied dancers. Swift replied with the tweet above. “It did not strike me immediately as material for a joke,” Ry...

    Another celebrity who’s not off limits is Lena Dunham. Part of the Swift routine is about her friendship with Dunham, who seems to serve as Swift’s one mortal friend. Ryan said she hopes this special gets on Dunham’s radar. “I love Lena Dunham,” Ryan said. “I love, love, love her. Until now I’ve only worked in Britain, and she has no idea what I do...

    Dating woes are fertile ground for most comics, and Ryan is no exception. She recounts one relationship where she dated a Jewish man who saw their religious differences as a problem. This turned into a conversation about circumcision and dick jokes about their hypothetical child. “I think some serious bits need a dick joke sometimes,” Ryan said. “F...

    The accusations of rape leveled against Bill Cosby have rallied the comedy world behind his victims. Many comedians, including Judd Apatow, have spoken out against Cosby. Ryan’s take is that it’s quite telling how much Cosby really hates being asked about it. Ask anyone else if they’ve raped anyone and they’ll casually say no (and she does ask audi...

    Ryan goes further to speculate on what would happen if comedians like Amy Schumer or Tina Feyraped an aspiring comic like herself.

    Being a standup comic, single mother, and Canadian immigrant to the U.K. gets Ryan a lot of unsolicited advice. People mean to be helpful, but encouraging her to remarry and be more “normal” is actually robbing her of her independence. “It’s that whole thing of, ‘What’s right is not always popular and what’s popular is not always right,’” Ryan said...

    In his 2005 book The Game, author Neil Strauss exposed the phenomenon of negging, wherein men use backhanded compliments and flagrant insults to psychologically manipulate women. One would think that exposing the tactic would enable women to resist it, but it continued to work for so-called pickup artists. 12 years later, women like Ryan have caugh...

    In Troublefeatures Ryan practicing the speech she would give at her sister’s wedding. The version in the special is scandalous and embarrassing for her sister Kerrie. The actual speech was not as harsh as the stage version. “It went well,” Ryan said. “My sister actually just put a little bit of it up on her Facebook page today. In real life, I was ...

    Ex-boyfriends and celebrities are fair game for Ryan, and she even tells some jokes about her daughter Violet. One elaborate story involves taking Violet’s pet rabbit to the veterinarian. Spoiler alert: the rabbit doesn’t make it. “Violet understands that I turn things from real life into comedy, and I think it helps,” Ryan said. “It helps everyone...
