Rosie Jones is an actor, writer and award-winning standup comedian. She has fronted her own Comedy Central series Out of Order, starred in Channel 4's documentary Am I a R*tard?, and led the travel series Mission: Accessible and the Bafta-nominated Trip Hazard. Her Channel 4 comedy-drama Pushers is nominated for a Bafta in 2026. She set up the Rosie Jones Foundation in 2025, focusing on mental health support for people with cerebral palsy. She brings her standup show I Can't Tell What She's Saying to the Edinburgh fringe from 5 to 30 August.
The last treat
Jones bought four 'grownup' pasta bowls from Denby. 'They were expensive, but I thought “screw it, I deserve it”,' she said. She broke one within a week.
Where she buys food
Jones mainly orders from the Co-op via Uber Eats, especially for its salt and vinegar crisps. 'They’re so vinegary, they hurt the roof of your mouth – it’s incredible,' she said.
Best presents given and received
She gave her mother Dom Pérignon champagne for her 60th birthday, which she opened immediately. 'I just thought that was the best thing ever because when you get champagne you think “ooh no, I’ll save it for a celebration”, but what’s a better celebration than your 60th birthday?' She also recommends Abba Voyage as a gift. As a child, she received a red three-wheeled bike called 'Pickle', and when she was 14 or 15, her parents bought her an adult version so she could join them on bike rides.
Favourite stores
Her favourite online store is Sugarhill Brighton boutique for its bright colours and fun clothing. Her favourite bricks-and-mortar shop is Aesop on Lexington Street, where she buys a spicy, unisex perfume called Gloam.
Gadget and regret
She uses an anti-spill cup carrier, which she calls her 'sex toy' because it looks like a swing. Her biggest purchase regret is buying a book from an author who later turned out to be 'a bad man or a bad transphobe'.
Deliveries and underwear
She gets toilet roll delivered every three months from Who Gives a Crap. For underwear, she buys from Uniqlo for everyday knickers, and from Bravissimo and Curvy Kate for bras and matching sets.
Splurge and scrimp
Her biggest splurge is Diptyque hand soap, which costs £59 and lasts a year. 'It makes me so happy whenever I go to the toilet and get to use a little bit of Diptyque,' she said. She scrimps on socks: 'I don’t care what’s on my feet.'
Greatest vintage find
At Sandringham’s Christmas market, she bought a camera that has been turned into a lamp. She loves that no one else has a lamp like it, and that friends often ask if she is filming them.
