Rosie James follows a sell-out Brighton Fringe 2024 split bill (‘Rosie & Steph Are Alive’ with Steph Cassin) with her first Work in Progress solo stand-up hour.

Rosie’s sunny disposition is somewhat undermined by a lifelong identity crisis, a nagging sense of existential dread... and quite a lot of crying.

Her original comedic style mixes offbeat observations and personal revelations with simmering emotional undercurrents, smart punchlines and big laughs.

“Probably the funniest stand-up that I've ever seen. About town criers, that is. I heard a rumour she’s gonna lean more heavily on that bit in her 2025 show, and add more stuff about how she cries a lot, and call it Town Crier. If true, that’s genius. And if not true, she can read this and do the idea anyway now, so either way it’ll be a brilliant and probably award-worthy show” – Anonymous comedy fan, 2024
