When she was born, she stopped breathing for about fifteen minutes. Because of that, she has ataxic cerebral palsy, a condition that affects her movement and speech.
Her first stand-up performance was at a friend's comedy night. She performed without any preparation.
On July 21st, 2022, she received an Honourary doctorate of The University of Huddersfield.
She once worked as a junior researcher for Objective Media Group as part of Channel 4's disability scheme. Following this, she was unemployed for a few years.
[on when she stopped breathing for fifteen minutes as a newborn] If you time it, it's such a short time for your whole life to change.
I would love in the next few years to see more disabled comedians, directors, producers, commissioners. I hope disabled people can see me on TV and think: if she can do it, I can do it.
My name is Rosie, and as you can probably tell by my voice, I suffer from... Being Northern.
