Is it just me but is Rosie Jones an aweful comedian?
I know she has Cerebral Palsy so good on her for trying but comedy is all about delivery, timing and quick wit. Unfortunatly she has none of this from what i've seen of her.

I have a feeling its mainly sympathy laughs for someone with a disability.

If she wasnt disabled but had the same jokes and timing, do you think she would be famous?
 
I've tried watching this becaues I want her to do well.



It's just hard to watch as the delivery is too slow. I know she cant help that but (good) comedy is delivered quickly otherwise its generally ruined.

Comedians such as Michael McIntyre, Jimmy Carr, Kevin Bridges, Alan Carr, Frankie Boyle, Joe Lycett all deliver quickly so the jokes roll on from each other and tell a story. That doesnt work if its slowed down to 0.25 speed... Maybe its just not my style

I hate myself for saying this buuut I dont know if she is funny because I get bored before she get to the punchline and turn over. Yes I know it's not her fault, it isn't mine either.

The only comedian that has actually really made me sore laughing is Billy Connolly, his "Audience with" is one of my all time favourites although it has probably aged badly now.

Billy Connolly on his audience with was great but yes, I expect its aged a bit now.

Kevin Bridges on live at the Apollo was fantastic. I could watch him all day, some of his jokes had me crying with laughter. I fell off the sofa when I first watched one of his performances.

They should do a head to head roast. Rosie Jones vs Frankie Boyle. That I would watch!

My parents went to see Frankie Boyle live a few years ago, even they said parts were OTT and received some negative audience response
