Rose Matafeo interview
Since first picking up the mic at 15, the standup has tap-danced, done Aerosmith karaoke and starred in her own TV show. So why does she want to disappear offstage?

Laugh Out London, 17th July 2017Review: Rose Matafeo, Latitude 2017
New Zealand's Rose Matafeo isn't really a stand-up comedian at all. She is simply a force of nature. A whirlwind in human form ready to whip up a comedy storm from the moment she walks on and sends up her own speccy appearance.

Laugh Out London, 15th July 2017Rose Matafeo interview
This Thursday, rising star Rose Matafeo returns to Soho Theatre for the last three performances of her 2016 Fringe hit, Rose Matafeo Is Finally Dead. The show - a clever blend of stand-up and sketch-play - earned the endearing Aucklander rave reviews last year, which have reverberated around the comedy industry since.
What's On London, 14th June 2017With an appearance on Have I Got News for You, and a forthcoming Soho theatre run, 24-year-old Kiwi Rose Matafeo's star is in the ascendant. That won't surprise anyone who witnessed her Edinburgh fringe debut last summer: her show wasn't the finished article, but Matafeo's talent hit you like a force-10 gale. Excitable, chaotic and yet supremely in control; great voices, great jokes, both serious and silly; rocket-fuelled forward momentum - the woman has charisma to burn and we should see plenty more of her in 2017.
