Northern, with Louise Young

Stand-up comedy and chat from triple-threat Rosie Jones.

She’s disabled, gay and northern. But she’s not a great example of any of these communities, and she’s tired of being asked to speak on their behalf.

This time, Rosie looks at being northern.

She grew up in a coastal town in Yorkshire, but seems to be ashamed that she moved to London for work.

Louise Young joins Rosie on stage to examine what it means to be from the north, and if their identities and attitudes are really tied to where they are from.

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

Producer: Richard Melvin

A Dabster production for BBC Radio 4. First broadcast in December 2021.
