2015 Funny Women Awards finalist Rosie Jones will be travelling the UK on a budget for a new Channel 4 series with the working title: A Great British, Female, Gay, Disabled, COVID Compliant Adventure.
Rosie said: “I spent lockdown back in Yorkshire with my parents, which was…tricky! But it did remind me how beautiful my hometown of Bridlington is, with its beautiful beaches, wildlife, and lovely locals. I want to explore more brilliant places like this. To be honest, I’m just over the moon to be leaving the house again.”
A Great British, Female, Gay, Disabled, COVID Compliant Adventure will combine travelogue with scripted comedy that will feature Rosie and a fictional commissioning editor character.
The show’s executive producer, Jody Smith said: “Rosie’s so boundlessly enthusiastic about everything, that after months of being stuck indoors and her usual crammed stand-up schedule on pause, we’re excited and fearful of what will happen when we unleash her on Britain. We’re so pleased to make this show for Channel 4, who have been enthusiastic in us roasting them.”
Channel 4’s head of features and formats, Sarah Lazenby said: “Rosie Jones’ dark and mischievous humour knows no bounds. So what could possibly go wrong giving her her own show to rampage across the U.K. and send up TV bosses? We’re delighted to be working with this minx and Studio 71.”
