Katy Brand is an award-winning writer, comedian and actor. Her award-winning ITV sketch show, Katy Brand’s Big Ass Show, which she devised, wrote and starred in, ran for three series and later became a nationwide live tour.

Part memoir, part homage to the monster hit film Dirty Dancing, Katy’s new book I Carried a Watermelon explores how the classic film has influenced Brand’s own attitudes to sex, love, romance, rights and responsibilities.
