Rosie Jones

Rosie Jones is one of the most joyful voices in contemporary British comedy, carving out space as a proudly queer woman with a disability in an industry that hasn’t always made room for her. Known for her razor-sharp wit and unapologetic delivery, she is a familiar face across television, appearing on panel shows and series like Taskmaster and hosting Out of Order, while also creating and starring in her own work, such as her BAFTA-nominated sitcom Pushers. Her comedy is rooted in lived experience, blending humor with honesty about disability, identity, and belonging. She tells GO, “I come from a funny family, so I grew up in a home full of laughter and joy. That gave me an understanding of the importance of comedy, and a little light relief amongst this increasingly scary and overwhelming world.” Jones speaks openly about the challenges of navigating a male-dominated space and says she draws strength from her queer community, who “have always been my loudest supporters, and I feel confident going into the world knowing that I have their support. I always joke that every audience member at my tour shows [is] disabled, or gay, or both!” Offstage, through The Rosie Jones Foundation, she works to support people with cerebral palsy, focusing on mental health and visibility. Whether writing, performing, or campaigning, Jones is driven by a simple goal: to make people laugh and to make a difference while doing it. –AK
