The One Where I Talk To Comedian, Rosalie Minnitt

Send us Fan MailMy guest on this week's episode is the completely divine Rosalie Minnitt, a comedian, writer and performer, who made her Edinburgh Fringe debut with her critically acclaimed character comedy show ‘Clementine’, a Jane Austen parody that meditates on girlhood, romance and everything in between and inverts the Austen image of "spinsterdom". Described as ‘delirious, demented stuff’ in Chortle, listed in the Telegraph’s Funniest Shows at the Fringe and one of the British Comedy Guide’s Top Reviewed Shows, Rosalie has sold out multiple runs at Soho Theatre, including the main space, and was in the Guardian’s Top Ten Comedy shows of 2023. Rosalie was a total delight and it was so interesting talking to a younger single woman — she’s 28 — about all things relationships, men, comedy, life, patriarchy, the state of dating, and so much more. Our conversation includes the complexities of modern romantic relationships, societal expectations, and the importance of self-belief and community among women. Rosalie also talks about her inspirations, her journey in the comedy world, and her outlook on dating and personal growth. 02:15 Guest Introduction03:50 Rosalie's Journey into Comedy05:35 Creating 'Clementine': Inspiration and Process13:52 Exploring Themes of Romance and Feminism24:04 Challenges and Reflections on Feminism35:34 The Ingrained Sexism in Society36:29 Finding Support and Belief in the Industry38:26 Navigating Single Life and Dating Challenges40:18 The Struggle of Maintaining Authenticity in Relationships47:48 The Complexities of Modern Dating51:19 The Need for Connection and Community57:37 Exciting Projects and Future Plans01:01:21 Final Thoughts and FarewellFollow Rosalie on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rosalieminnitt/?hl=enGet tickets to Rosalie's show, Clementine: https://linktr.ee/rosalieminnittSupport the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/bookJoin my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesoloDownload my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacksCheck out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/Email me: [email protected] And thank you so much for listening!
