Have you ever been so engrossed in a satire that you found yourself double-checking whether you're in on the joke? That's the genius of Rosie Holt – the comedian who could pass for an MP with her scintillating political parodies, leaving audiences unsure whether to laugh or call for her resignation!

Delighted to welcome Rosie Holt to the Good Listening To Show 'Clearing' to talk about her comedic journey, the viral whirlwind of her parodies on Party Gate, the Post Office Scandal and many more, plus news of her upcoming UK National Tour, that promises to tickle your funny-bone whilst also engaging in a bit of sunshine-inspired inspiration.

Peeking behind the curtain of Rosie’s life, we stumbled into a world ripe with the makings of a comedian – from the dynamic chaos of a large family to the elaborate imaginary quests with her siblings. Those early influences have undoubtedly left an indelible mark on her work, weaving a story of resilience and humor that can only come from the heart of someone who has experienced the terror of 'dying on stage.' Rosie's candid recount of the highs-and-lows of her formative years provides a touching and often hilarious testament to the power of humour in navigating life's unpredictable path.

As we wandered further down memory lane, Rosie shared her experiences of the classic horror genre's influence on her, the eye-opening indulgence of the Edinburgh Festival, and how the isolating times of the Pandemic sparked a new vein of creativity in her satire.

From artwork that speaks of hope and sanctuary to advice she'd impart to her younger self, Rosie's reflections offer a poignant glimpse into the life of an artist.

Whether you're a creative soul or simply someone who appreciates a good laugh with a side of introspective wisdom, this episode is a reminder of the transformative power of embracing our unique stories and turning adversity into art.
