2003 Funny Women Awards finalist Katy Wix is writing a memoir, Delicacy which promises to be a “different kind of memoir from an astonishing new voice”. Set to be published by Headliner for a July release, the book will consist of eleven slices from Katy’s life – “some staccato, raw and shocking, some expansive, meditative, and profound, underpinned with moments of startling humour that shatter the darkness – all beginning with a single memory. A memory of cake.”
The Cardiff born comic actor has starred in shows such as Not Going Out, Ghosts and Stath Lets Flats. However, in spite of the fantastic CV and sweetness of cake, this memoir will feature plenty of ups and downs: “The sickly royal icing marked the moment Katy found her voice. The madeira cake was the sun her group therapy sessions orbited. The ‘missing cake’ from a lost holiday has never let go. The Bara brith eaten in hospital after a life-altering car crash was as tough as the metal that hit her. The supermarket rock cake was where she ‘practised wanting’.”
The book promises to be “shocking, raw, darkly funny and deeply humane” as Katy charts trauma, grief, addiction, love, loss and hope through the aid of cakes.
