Roisin Conaty and Lou Sanders have opened up about ‘wrong ‘uns’ on the British comedy circuit. 

The female comics, who star in Amazon Prime’s Last One Laughing UK, made the admission in an interview with The Sunday Times. 

Katherine Ryan set the rumour mill alight in 2023 when she claimed there was a ‘dangerous’ male comic working on the circuit, who she said she knew was a ‘predator’.

And asked about Sєxual harᴀssment on the scene, Roisin, 45, and Lou, 46, have shed light on their experience with male comedians. The pair did not name any comics. 

‘There was definitely stuff…’ Roisin said. ‘When I was doing comedy around 2002, 2003, women comics weren’t all in contact with each other to speak about dodgy gigs. But now we are, we’re not alone.’

Lou added: ‘There are mᴀssive wrong ’uns on the circuit, horrible stuff that has gone on.’

She said an issue that arises with women reporting Sєxual harᴀssment is that the label follows them through their career, and from thereon in they are deemed a ‘victim’.

Lou went on to share her experiences of Sєxism on the comedy circuit also, as she revealed she would often be introduced on stage by misogynistic comments relating to her attractiveness. 

She did however share her positive views that female comics are gaining precedence now as women want to hear what each other have to say, as she claimed previously there was an atтιтude that women aren’t funny.  

Last October, fellow female comedian Katherine shared the cutting message she sent to former male colleagues who got in touch after she revealed there was a ‘dangerous male comic’ on the circuit. 

The star claimed last year that there is a ‘dangerous comic’ working in British showbusiness.

She hosted the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards in London in October and was honoured with a Feminist Hero Award for speaking out about the alleged predator. 

During her speech, Katherine revealed that a host of men she had worked with previously got in touch after her admission – all seeking ‘proof messages’ that she wasn’t talking about them. 

‘So I had to copy and paste like a hundred times “Do you really think you should be texting me after everything that happened between us”,’ Katherine said as she revealed how she replied, sparking huge laughs from the female crowd.

Katherine said last year that she ‘wrestled’ with the decision about whether to work with ‘someone who I believe to be a perpetrator of Sєxual ᴀssault’ or turn down jobs. 

Referencing said male comic in her speech Katherine began: ‘After some soul-searching I though “Why should I stay home? He’s be there in his unnecessarily тιԍнт jeans, he’ll be there wearing beanie indoors or w***ing off a Tibetan monk for views, or whatever he gets up to”.

‘And so I accepted the gig but every time I had to speak to him I would say stuff like “I’m not getting paid enough to be here, especially for how many times my face will be on the news when your victims come forward” and fun banter like that. 

‘It happened so long ago we were still using the word victim by the way, we say survivor now which would have been a very different Destiny’s Child song, less empowering.’

Katherine went on to say that everyone in the industry already knew this man was a predator, but that the survivors didn’t feel comfortable speaking out.

‘I wasn’t trying to get him cancelled because everyone knew,’ she said. 

‘”Why didn’t you tell a journalist Katherine”, everybody knew. “Why didn’t you tell the police”, everybody already knew. Everybody knew but they couldn’t prove it. 

‘What the journalist wanted from me was never his name it was the women’s names. 

‘The women who had told me their stories and I believe in a woman’s right to physical autonomy just as I believe in the right to autonomy of her voice and if they didn’t want to come forward that’s up to them. So I couldn’t say anything.’
