Join Emily and Raymond back in London’s Battersea Park for the second part of our walk with the brilliant comedian Rosie Holt.
Rosie tells us all about her overnight viral success after she started posting online as Rosie Holt MP - and what it was like to write a parody book entirely in character. She also explains what it’s like to have people believe your comedy character is real, and how she handles pile-ons and misogyny online.
Why We Were Right by Rosie Holt MP is out on 20th June. Pre-order your copy here!

0:07.0 | Also I really recommend you pre-order a copy of her book, Why We Were Right, by Rosie Holt MP, because it's really hilarious. |
