WORDS DANIELLE MUSTARDE
Just before this issue went to print, Rosie Jones performed to a “cosy” audience of 90,000 at Wembley Stadium. Not bad, considering the 28-year-old comedian was still contemplating how to put together her first full-length set this time last year.
Yorkshire-born Rosie studied English at university before moving to London aged 21 to pursue a career in television. “Once I graduated, I was like, ‘Great! I can read and write! Shit. Now what?’ I’d always loved TV and so I applied for a diversity traineeship at Channel 4, which I got. After that, I quickly found that I loved comedy and working on panel shows in particular.”
