Summary
Jemma and Marina are thrilled to learn that comedian and writer, Rosie Jones has been a Trawler from the beginning! They discuss who her comedy heroes are, how she started in the business and why she’s finally left Twitter.
With 150K followers on Instagram, Rosie has legions of fans who adore her outspoken, warm brand of humour but that doesn’t stop the trolls abusing her and attacking her for being disabled. Rosie opens up about how that feels, how she’s trying her best to represent 24% of the population and what she’s doing to encourage greater representation.
A clip from the Jimmy Kimmel show of ‘celebrities read mean tweets’ reminds Rosie, Marina and Jemma that no one is safe when it comes to having a large platform!
A great chat, peppered with lots of clips and a superb pudding from one of Rosie’s heroes - the incredible Victoria Wood.

| 0:00.0 | This show is a bit like the government in that no one can understand how I ended up in charge. |
| 0:25.1 | Hello and welcome to the Trawle Meets. |
| 0:26.3 | I'm Marina Perkis. |
| 0:27.9 | And I'm Gemma Forte. |
| 0:32.8 | And on The Trawl Meets, Marina and I get to chat with someone we admire and find interesting. We discuss political topics they're passionate about and explore their unique experience of |
| 0:39.0 | and views on social media. And today, the trawl meets someone who, despite being adored by |
| 0:45.9 | legions of fans, gets more than her fair share of abuse online. She has 150,000 followers on |
| 0:53.4 | Instagram, is starring in the current series of Channel 4's |
| 0:56.8 | Taskmaster, and recently said this on Good Morning Britain. I am very good at social media. I keep it |
| 1:04.0 | at arms distance and take it with a pinch of salt. I know the abuse I get towards me isn't always |
| 1:09.3 | about me. It's about them. It's about their prejudices. It's their |
| 1:13.8 | problem. So what I do is focus on me doing my job to the best of my ability, making people laugh and |
| 1:20.5 | living my life to the fullest. And it's fair to say she's smashing that ambition. Only recently |
| 1:27.0 | she graced the cover of gay times, |
| 1:29.4 | which she looked very hot in actually, in full latex, saucy minks. And she's been given a blue |
| 1:35.4 | Peter badge. And she's also taken part in and completed the London Marathon with Ivo Graham. |
| 1:42.6 | She's passionate about politics too. So there's a lot to chat about. |
| 1:46.6 | But first, here she is, doing what she does best, taking the piss out of herself. |
| 1:51.9 | My name's Rosie, and as she can tell from her voice |
| 2:01.5 | I suffer from being northern. |
| 2:12.3 | Very good. |
| 2:14.2 | Welcome, Rosie. |
