2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Rosie Holt: The Woman's Hour
Social media sensation and Chortle Award winner Rosie Holt debuts an hour of character comedy based on her hit satirical videos. A right-wing "opinionist" distorting the news, an MP desperately defending a failing government, a left-winger wanting to say the right thing but scared of getting it wrong. These characters and more come together when their creator accidentally becomes the news, as they try to speak their truth whatever the facts. 'If she can stay in character long enough, she'll have a Telegraph column and a seat on Question Time by teatime' (James O'Brien).
