Disability

20200415

She's disabled, gay and northern - so, of course, she has her own BBC show.

However, she doesn't feel a great example of any of these communities and she's tired of being asked to speak on their behalf.

Rosie looks at disability with help from comedian Jamie MacDonald. Jamie ticks the 'blind box', most of the time, and shares some of the absurd situations he comes up against due to people's awkwardness around him.

Recorded in a live comedy club.

A Dabster production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in April 2020.

Sexuality

20200422

Stand-up comedy from triple-threat Rosie Jones. She's disabled, gay and northern - so, of course, she has her own Radio 4 show.

However, she's not a great example of any of these communities and she's tired of being asked to speak on their behalf. This show checks what's really inside the boxes and throws most of it out.

This week, Rosie examines her sexuality. Everyone's story is different and each experience is individual. With the help of comedian Chloe Petts, the box of sexuality is ticked in a way that may surprise you.

Recorded in a live comedy club, prepare to be shocked and disappointed by Rosie's lack of respect for your expectations.
