“Some people assume I have an intellectual disability, so they either patronise me or feel uncomfortable around me. Life is confusing and difficult at the best of times and CALM is a charity that puts people first and makes people’s lives better.”Īnd Rosie’s no stranger to mental health struggles, her ataxic cerebral palsy means she has mobility problems and slow speech, all of which can have an impact on her own mental wellbeing. She hopes that becoming an ambassador will give her the chance to help people just like CALM’s services do: “I think in life it’s very easy to get tunnel vision and just become obsessed with your own world and what you’re doing. I know it’s a bit cliché to say, but expect the unexpected! I’m hoping it will be the most positive and joyful travel show anybody has ever seen.”Īnother new gig Rosie has taken on is joining #TeamCALM. I’m going on a real adventure of the UK and I am not going to hold back.

“It’s going to be a bit bonkers, full of energy and enthusiasm. There’s little chance of that though, as she’s nabbed her own travel show on Channel 4. I definitely have imposter syndrome, and I’m still convinced that one day everybody will realise that I am a terrible comedian and I will have to go back to my old job!”

“I’ve been a full time funny person for about three years now. And so, naturally, she took things into her own hands and started doing stand up. She had loads of fun working behind the camera as a researcher, but became more and more frustrated with the lack of diverse comedians on TV. We chatted with Rosie about being CALM’s newest Ambassador, the mental health impact of having a disability, and what she does when she’s feeling a bit low.Īfter Uni, Rosie got a job in television. Comedian and writer Rosie Jones brought us the likes of The Last Leg, 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and even an episode of Sex Education, and she’s been making us LOL with her stand up shows for three years.
