Stand-up comedy

Jones first performed stand-up comedy without preparation at a friend's comedy night. [6]

In 2017, Jones performed "Inspiration" at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show was 35 minutes long and contained jokes about her visit to the 2016 Summer Paralympics, using disabled toilets, and commentary on the words "disabled" and "spastic". It received 3.5 stars in Chortle [38] and three stars in The List . [39]

In 2018, Jones' Edinburgh Festival Fringe show was titled "Fifteen Minutes". Jones talks about a hypothetical "able-bodied Rosie" and discusses a sexual fantasy about Ryan Gosling.

[52] [53] [54] Jones wrote a sequel novel, The Big Trip, which was published on 18 August 2022. [55]

Comedic style

Jones has ataxic cerebral palsy; [56] she incorporates her slow speech pattern into her comedy, constructing jokes to subvert the punchline that audiences expect. [6] [11] For instance, she has used the opening line "As you can tell from my voice, I suffer from being northern." [10] Jones unexpectedly refers to previous jokes later in her performances, a trait which one critic describes as "clinically planned". [43]

She describes her style as "cheeky", [6] commenting that she makes jokes that able-bodied people could not. [12] Jones' stand-up routines relate to disability and sexuality, [11] and have been described as dark comedy. [41]

In 2019, Jones received mixed reception for a joke she made on The Last Leg in which she said that as a 16-year-old, environmental activist Greta Thunberg should only be concerned with "drinking Lambrini and getting fingered." [57]

Jones said she experiences impostor syndrome, having grown up seeing comedians as fast-spoken straight white males. [24] : 22:00  She has also said that she has used jokes as a coping mechanism. [8]

Personal life

Jones is a lesbian. On the BBC Sounds podcast Duvet Days, she said "Growing up, there was nobody in TV or radio that looked like me – that sounded like me. There was Francesca Martinez in Grange Hill , but that was the only person really. And also my sexuality came into that, like when there was a disabled person they were very much the victim and they didn't have a sexuality, they were very much the stock disabled person. That meant growing up, I didn't accept my sexuality because I thought I'm not gay and disabled." [58]

Jones has spoken on the rights of disabled people, describing bullying that she has experienced and difficulties in her daily life. [59] She has expressed concerns over the particular vulnerability of disabled people during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the way emphasis on the virus affecting people with pre-existing conditions has led to disabled people being coded as "second class citizens". [60] During an interview with The Guardian , Jones commented: "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." [61] She receives social media abuse each time she appears on television. [24] : 28:00 

In a 2023 interview with i , Jones said she was mugged five times in the course of two years while walking alone, targeted due to her disability. She said she was regularly rejected by taxi services when drivers assumed her to be drunk. Online, much of the abuse she faces is unwanted sexual comments. [62]

Jones began therapy during the production of Am I a R*tard?. [62] She said she would recommend it to "literally anyone". [24] : 30:00  Therapy allowed her to believe that she was not responsible for facing discrimination and accept the statement: "sometimes I am a victim". [62]
