Katherine Ryan: Battleaxe review – comedy's ice queen melts into audience agony aunt
How would you like a ruthless cynic as an agony aunt? That's the question thrown up by this touring show from Katherine Ryan, which pairs 45 minutes of caustic standup with a second 45 of counselling to the crowd. You might protest that that adds up to less than an hour of new material in Battleaxe, plus a second act that's more improvised therapy session meets audience Q&A. But at least those three-quarters of an hour find Ryan on imperious form, dispensing tart put-downs of men in general and some men in particular. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. This ice queen of comedy pose is one Ryan wears lightly now, after a few years where it sometimes felt restrictive and for show. Then came her 2022 show Missus, which diluted (or enriched) the persona to address the Canadian's then-recent out-of-the-blue marriage. Battleaxe is a retrenchment after that more expansive offering, with Ryan back in her high-status comfort zone, eye-rolling at her children's foibles, breaching PC protocols for LOLs, and wrinkling her nose at the weaker sex. 'If dildos could bleed a radiator, men would be obsolete.' There's a fine routine on the contrasting ways male and female bodies husband their reproductive material, and many a weary remark at the expense of 'im indoors. See this masterpiece of double-edgery: 'I love my current husband so much so far.' The Ryan we meet post-interval sits a little at odds to this act one badass, as she responds to problems volunteered by the crowd with even-handedness in place of cynical certainty. Fair enough: such is (in her own words) her duty of care, as she ministers to a man whose Lego habit his new wife refuses to tolerate, and a couple at odds about the appeal (or otherwise) of having a third child. But, in this touring show of two halves, the laughs in this crowdsourced comedy are milder than the short, sharp hit of concentrated Katherine that goes before. Touring until 28 June

All the Father's Day freebies you can get to treat dad this Sunday worth over £150 – from free pints to day's out
IT is almost our dads' big day but if the budget's tight there are still plenty of ways to celebrate them without breaking the bank. Father's Day is on Sunday, June 15 and we've put together a list of free or small cost activities to guarantee your dad has the best time. 4 Dads go free There are many places across the country that are giving dads free entry for one day only. Dads go free all weekend at the Whitehouse Farm Centre, 30 minutes north of Newcastle. An adults entry costs £15.95 online or £16.95 on the day as a walk-in. The free ticket must be bought with a full paying child's ticket on June 14 and 15, while existing dad members of Whitehouse will get a free hot drink. "Superhero dads" will also get free entry to Woodlands Leisure Park in Devon if the ticket is bought online in advance and with a child's ticket. Tickets for an adult range from £20.93-£26.78 according to the website. The park has plenty of exciting things to do on the day, including rides, soft play area and even a small farm to meet some furry, four-legged friends. Other parks that offer similar deals include, Twinlakes Park and Wheelgate Theme Park, Powderham Castle and Dartmoor Zoo. Sea Life Centers across the country are offering free entry for dads from June 10 to 16. A standard entry ticket starts at £31 online. 4 The Eden Project in Cornwall is not only letting dad and grandads in for zero on Sunday, but they get a free pint if they dine in. A standard ticket is £38 online or £42 on the day. Food and Drink Why not take dad out for a bite to eat and drink to show how much you love him. Frankie & Benny's Italian restaurant chain, Frankie & Benny's is offering dads a free steak or pint if you pre-book a table for this week. The steak usually costs £22.75, so the deal could save mum and kids plenty of money. The steak offer is limited to the first 1,000 bookings and can be redeemed with any child's meal, all other bookings will receive a free pint or bottle of Peroni. Prezzo Another Italian chain, Prezzo, also has some pretty good offers up for grabs. Not only will dad get a free pint of Peroni on Sunday, but if he has a decent dad joke to tell, his drinks will be free for the rest of the day. The Coconut Tree But if Asian food is more to your dad's taste, then take your dad to The Coconut Tree where he can get three dishes for free when accompanied by a full-paying adult. The T&C's say: "For each paying customer, one Father, Grandfather or caregiver can choose 1 Hopper, 1 Curry Dish & 1 Side for free. Valid on Sunday 15 th June 2025 only." Hoppers start at £4, whilst curries £9 and sides £4 - meaning you could say a minimum of £17. Free cash schemes if you're struggling Many of us are still struggling with the high cost of living - but there's help you can get. New or expectant parents can get up to £442 a year to spend on food through Healthy Start scheme. Some new parents can get £500 via the Sure Start Maternity Grant. The money is designed to help you cover the costs of having a child. Councils also offer support through the welfare assistance schemes, to help cover the costs of essentials, from buying new furniture to food vouchers. The amount you can get varies but an investigation by The Sun found that hard-up Brits can apply for help worth up to £1,000. Discretionary Housing Payment is a pot of money handed out by councils to those struggling to keep a roof over their heads. A scheme is available for those who find themselves unable to cover housing costs, though the exact amount varies as each local authority dishes out the cash on a case-by-case basis. Many energy forms offer grants to help cash-tight customers. The exact amount varies depending on your supplier and you circumstances, but could be as much a £2,000. TGI Friday's Some TGI Friday's locations are giving dad a free drink when dining with family, if the table is booked in advance. Greene King pubs Dads can get a Jack Daniels whisky at Greene King pubs when dining with a guest between 12 and 18 June. Sign up to Greene King's mailing letter to get the voucher. Wetherspoons Some Wetherspoons branches are offering drink vouchers or discounts on meals, it's best to check with your local Wetherspoons for information. Beefeater & Brewers Fayre Beefeater & Brewers Fayre are offering a free drink or dessert with the purchase of a main meal, but offers vary by location. Desserts start at £5.19 according to the menu. Las Iguanas South American-inspired chain, Las Iguanas, is offering a free Corona or soft drink with a main meal, with a maximum of six drinks per booking. Fun, free gifts If your dad prefers to open a gift on his big day, then there are some ways to get cheap presents for him. Vodafone customers can get free socks from Sockshop and only pay £2.95 for postage. The offer is available until June 12 or until 30,000 pairs have been snapped up. Co-op is giving away Walk a Mile with Dad t-shirts from July 11. There are 5,000 available and can be picked up on Co-op's website. 4 Adventure dad If your father is more of a thrill-seeker then head down to Bournemouth Pier, are giving dads a free zip-line ride. A single rider ticket costs between £20 and £27. It is also hosting a weekend festival of music, food and fun for all the family. Clacton Pier is offering dads free rides all day on June 15 after doing something similar on Mother's Day. The offer is also available to grandfathers, uncles and guardians over the age of 18 when a Big Day Out Band is bought for a child. Travel Morebus in the Bournemouth region is offering free travel for fathers travelling on Sunday - as long as they are accompanied by a child buying a dayrider ticket.
