I always find it amusing that the last thing a pilot hears before slamming into a mountain at 500kts is their own aircraft calling them a RETARD.

She isn't funny at all, its a shame as she is obviously trying to make the best of the hand she was dealt. No comedic timing, you can see it on shows like 8 out of 10 cats does countdown...everyone waiting for her to finish the joke, its just awkward tbh.

I'm not sure why but when it comes to tv media they tend to always put severely disabled people on.
They always tend to do jokes about disability which can be a taboo subject considering the clampdown on the retard word.
I know lots of people who are excellent communicators and are naturally funny. For some reason these people are rarely on tv.
I've seen more retardedness since leaving the special school system than whenever I was there.

It's pity comedy.
In a world of equality she totally ticks a unique box. I'll laugh at anything I'm deffo gonna watch some of her stuff and see how it goes. The more self deprecating the better.

You won't laugh at her comedy, that's for sure.

The main problem I have with her is that a lot of comedy (aside from the joke) is to do with timing.
And due to her disability she takes ages to tell a joke and unfortunately it's often hard to understand what she's actually saying. So I do cringe when I find out she is a guest on a panel show or something.
I imagine she's a good writer though. For example 'Sex Education' on Netflix is funny and she has credits on that.

I've seen those both so many times and yet they still crease me up. For those that don't know The Chapelle Show is on Netflix, check it out of you haven't.
Someone with the courage to overcome a severe disability and put herself in the public eye should be admired. She's a wonderful example to other disabled people (and non disabled) as to what you can achieve. Imagine the abuse she gets on social media and the resilience you need to put up with it and keep putting yourself out there. It doesn't matter if you don't find her funny, personally I do and enjoy watching the things she's in. Good on ya Rosie

I hadn't noticed before, but yes, you're right.
Just read on wiki that she's a lesbian. Female, disabled and gay. Channel 4 have hit the box-ticking jackpot with her.Never knew she was funny, but she's an absolute babe!
I've thought about her many a time

That explains THAT google then.

Christ, if she was a Muslim as well
She could replace whole departments diversity quotas.

Eh, she's about as funny as most panel show hosts and guests these days. Find them all largely dull and the audience approval rating seems to be purely based on how 'quick' they are. Everyone nutting over Lee Mack like he's the second coming

She as been on bbc woman's hour programme saying a few of the other disabled contributors have pulled out, mainly because of the use of the Retard word, and it being so prominent.
The documentary is still going on but edited down. I think it's the way the idea as been presented that is more the issue in my personal view.
I think if she kept her programme to general abuse suffered by disabled people it would have been better.
As a person with multiple physical disabilities I've been called hunchback when I was younger because I had a noticeable curved spine. I've had references said about my height as the spine issue as kept me short, and I also have joints that don't work properly which attract stares.
To be unique takes a certain kind of bullish personality. Everyone either born or has acquired a physical disability will face the test of public reaction.
She should have had C4 change the title and just include the word in her segment.

I read this in her voice, theres 2 hours im not getting back. Thanks mate!She's getting a bit of flock now for using the r-word as if it's anything like using the n-word ..
But of course, she has a physical disability rather than a mental disability so it's not clear she's really got an r-word pass.
yes heard some - that interview, was unfortunately , first programme in which I could understand her words - which as vincent said are usually indecipherable, (maybe you get accustomed, like some of the call centres)
On tv comedy shows, accidentally watch bites of, to confirm they are junk, I think comedians and (canned) audience, laugh at one anothers jokes out of politeness.
Need more UK comedians - most of the Yank stuff doesn't work
