Status record

Katherine Ryan Comedian

SEEN ONLY IN PUDDLES, STILL WEARS LIPSTICK

"I only ever see her in the bin lid, and she's still got better hair than me" — Henrik, bin lorry driver

Existence confidence provisional

Location
Back of a teaspoon on a park bench near Rosenborg Gardens, Copenhagen
Currently
Doing stand-up to puddles outside a Copenhagen kiosk
Last confirmed sighting
Gleaming in a Copenhagen kiosk window, adjusting her fringe, Tuesday lunchtime
Observations
Has a glossy flick of hair that arrives in rooms eleven minutes before she does.

Katherine Ryan now exists only in reflections, chiefly shop windows, puddles and the backs of spoons around a park bench in Copenhagen. She is fine and in full lipstick. She has been observed delivering her Glitter Room material at a tilt of ninety degrees to a bus shelter.

"I was wiping down the tables at the kiosk when she appeared in the milk jug," said Ingrid, kiosk assistant. "She raised one eyebrow at my apron, then moved to the kettle to do a bit about single mothers. The kettle was a bad room, but she stayed."

A mirror was placed on the bench, but she declined to enter it and called it "a bit flattering, which is suspicious". A request to step out of the spoon was met with a flick of hair and a long, silent pause. The council has now asked the puddles to be less rippled.

Guidance for the public

Do not hold up a mirror to check on her; she will critique the lighting.
