Katy Wix is an acclaimed comedy writer and performer for theatre, radio and television.

Katy Wix is a Welsh actress and comedian who trained at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. She is best known for her roles as ‘Carole’ in Stath Lets Flats (Channel 4), ‘Mary’ in Ghosts (BBC One), ‘Fergie’ in the The Windsors (Channel 4), ‘Daisy’ in Not Going Out (BBC One), and ‘Gemma’ in Agatha Raisin (Sky One).

She is a well-known comedy personality and has appeared on panel shows such as Would I Lie To You and Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Katy co-hosted the BBC comedy panel show The King Is Dead for BBC Three. 

She has also played many dramatic roles in major dramas such as Sherlock, Death in Paradise, Decline and Fall and played the lead role in the feature film Where Have I Been All Your Life?

Katy wrote the BBC Radio 4 series Bird Island and starred in other Radio 4 projects such as Jack & Millie, Tim Key's Late Night Poetry Show and Ankle Tag. Katy's short Dear Jean Pierre is on the BBC iPlayer as part of the "Funny Valentines" strand.

Her first book of comic monologues was published in 2014 by Oberon books to a fabulous reception and her second volume in 2015. Katy’s memoir Delicacy - tackling loss, grief, trauma, love and hope was released in 2021 and was named in The Guardian’s best paperbacks of the month. The book received rave reviews including:

“Wix is such an astonishingly good writer that she makes this into an unlikely page-turner. She turns her pain into poetry” – Chortle ★★★★★

“Hilarious, heartbreaking...She's a writer with impressive range, and Delicacy is entertaining and affecting”. ― Observer

'A book that gets wiser, darker, and more brutally truthful every time you turn the page. Word of mouth is slowly turning it into a passionately recommended cult hit.' - Caitlin Moran
