Rosie Jones: Box Ticker Too

Northern, with Louise Young

Duration: 14 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Available for years

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 week, 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.
