As a rising comedian I totally understand this, but Rosie is well known now, making this a deal-breaker, with her status would force promoters to be mindful of accessibility showing up as an ally for fans. The silence when we asked her management to help was shocking 3/3
As a collective, we fight hard for the things no disabled people take for granted, with a platform comes the opportunity to make change, rather than 'I won't perform in inaccessible spaces' she went with the line 'If I don't perform in inaccessible spaces, I don't get paid' 2/3
It's LAUGHABLE that Rosie Jones is asking fans to tell her their worst stories about being disabled, when for me, one of the worst feelings I've had was when I, a disabled person couldn't go to her gig because the venue was inaccessible, she didn't respond and wasn't sorry. 1/2
