What inspired Emily and Ray to bring Catherine Bohart onto the show?
I'm sorry to say that I still think it's one of the coolest things that Briston can do.
Do you know it does look great? It does look bad. It looks so funny. Sorry, that's cool. This week on Walking the Dog, Brha and I went for an East London stroll in Victoria Park with comedian Catherine Beauhart. I first came across Catherine being utterly hilarious on shows like QI, Live at the Apollo and Roast Battle, as well as Last One Laughing Island. And I'm also a huge fan of her stand-up. So as soon as we arrived, Ray ran straight over to Catherine with his tail twerking madly, which is a shih tzu's way of saying, you're a bit of me. So I had a feeling he was gonna fall hard for Catherine, and I wasn't wrong. We had the loveliest walk chatting about Catherine's life from her childhood growing up in Dublin.
Her dad, by the way, was training to be a priest when he met her mum, so I couldn't wait to hear all about this fleabag plot twist. We also chatted about Catherine's diagnosis of OCD and how she navigates that, what eventually led her into comedy and her experiences with oversharing in stand-up and the kind of emotional. Hangover, it can lead to. Catherine also explained why she called her upcoming tour Borrowing Trouble. It's actually a genius phrase her dad uses to describe panicking about things that will never happen. And if you want to go see it, it'll be on at the Soho Theatre London from the 21st of September to the 3rd of October, and touring across the UK and Ireland after that.

Ray and I had the best time with Catherine. She's just joyous company and she's also Ireland's secret dog whisperer. At one point, Ray had totally stopped and refused to move because, let's be honest, he basically thinks walking is beneath him. Catherine's response was to scoop him up in her arms for the rest of the walk and rock him to sleep like a baby. He looked so blissed out. I wondered if she'd slipped him a tiny. Margarita. Either way, Ray's decided to make Catherine his new primary caregiver whether she likes it or not. Really hope you enjoy our walk. Here's Catherine and Ray Ray. Ray Ray Hi Raymond. Raymond can't resist a bin.
Does Raymond have a middle name?
That's a great question. No one's ever asked that. He's just no, he's just Raymond.
Like Madonna. Oh my gosh, cool. Oh I that's fabulous.
My surname's Dean, so when I go to the vets I do find it weird, Catherine, the way they call 'em out and they go, Raymond's Dean.
Feels a bit ridiculous. You're like, excuse me, you have to earn the family name. We're friends, we're not family. Savage from you actually.
How did Catherine’s childhood in Dublin shape her sense of humor?
To denounce Raymond in his weakest hours.
I'm sorry to hear that, man. I think you two are gonna get on really well.
I'm already obsessed with Raymond, but I will say I'm a sucker for a tiny dog.
Are you?
Yeah, I love all dogs, but I love a tiny dog. When I um was in living in Kilburn, I really, really, really wanted to have a dog but couldn't and so I went and borrowed my doggy. What was that like? Well, quite embarrassing actually because I sent quite a l earnest diatribe to a woman whose um tiny Bijon fries I'd taken to up to and um It was like an essay on how like I'm actually available during the days and I'm a very responsible person and I've known dogs in my life. real kind of eulogy stuff and she was like Hey, I think I know you.
How has Catherine’s experience with OCD influenced her comedy and personal life?
I work in comedy and I was like sh no delete this message immediately. Who was she?
Did you know her?
Yeah, she was a woman who used to run the Camden Comedy Club, Lucy, and she let me walk her dog Mabel for five years. Oh And I loved her so much. And uh she lives very far away from me now, but she is the sweetest dog in the world. Ray, don't listen. Oh my god, the birds are bigger than him.
Look at the geese and li Ray, do you like them?
He's so nonplossed.
He's not attract he's not drawn to what I call mock the weak extroverts. And those geese I find a bit mock the weak. Do you know what I mean, Catherine?
I couldn't possibly.
Why did Catherine name her new tour “Borrowing Trouble” and what does the phrase mean?
Wow. Yes, I know what you mean though. They are a bit elbows out those boys.
