In Katherine Ryan’s new show Backstage, she and fellow comedian Jimmy Carr roast each other over their history with cosmetic procedures.

The Amazon series sees Ryan give viewers a behind-the-scenes insight at what comedians talk about before a show.

In episode one, Ryan’s co-writer Geoff Northcott suggests Ryan make a joke about Carr having plastic surgery. “Jimmy’s had a lot of work done. He doesn’t look a day over “what the f*** is that?”’ he says.

To which Ryan replies: “He’d love that.” Later, on stage, she is seen telling the audience: “Jimmy and I try to outdo each other with the surgery. It’s an expensive and life-threatening game we play…

“Just the other day I told my doctor I want Eighties tits. You know, the kind that look more fake than Jimmy’s new hair.”

At another point before her performance, when Ryan says she’s going to her make-up room to get ready, Carr jokes: “It’s an emergency room, isn’t it?”

When Ryan quips that it’s actually a “special effects unit”, Carr says: “The same people that did Jurassic Park.”

In February last year, Ryan called out a social media user who’d accused her of “going too far” with surgery.

“Hi Clare, I got breast implants in 2004 and nothing else. Suck my d*** b****. Have a great day! X,” she hit back.
