Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan outlines the unique approach to life that has brought her many detractors — and many more devoted fans.

While Katherine Ryan's onstage persona is known to be extreme, her life story is in many ways equally remarkable.

This bracingly honest autobiography unravels the roots of one of today's most mischievous performers.

Ryan's tale covers growing up in small-town Canada, being crowned 'Miss Hooters Toronto', escaping an abusive, coercive partner, the pain of miscarriage, and being regularly 'canceled' on TikTok.

At the root of it all lies Ryan's implacable sense of social justice and acceptance of herself and her story.

The book is poignant, outrageous, self-aware, and, above all, funny.
