Russell Brand with Katherine Ryan and Jimmy Carr on 'Roast Battle.' Comedy Central Katherine Ryan has spoken out about her experience of working with Russell Brand on the UK version of Roast Battle for Paramount’s Comedy Central. During her Sky stand-up special, Katherine Ryan: First Born Daughter, which premiered on Saturday, the Canadian comedian confirmed that she made jokes about Brand’s alleged treatment of women — but claimed that Paramount ultimately stopped her from targeting her Roast Battle co-star. Ryan did not name Brand during her special, but dropped several unsubtle clues about his identity.
