About Rosie Holt
Rosie Holt (born July 1985) is a British actress, comedian, and satirist. She started her satirical videos, Woman Who..., released on her Twitter feed, during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown. The Guardian newspaper noted her "strong line in parodies of the [type of] political speech that veers into drivel." Holt grew up in Somerset, in the west of England, and studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
In August 2013, Holt's entry in The Sitcom Trials, 'Never Better', was selected as winner. Holt jointly wrote and performed as part of the double act Holt and Talbot, alongside Christian Talbot, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in both 2017 and 2018. Holt is one of several satirists who subsequently found a popular online niche for her art during the COVID-19 pandemic. She appeared on BBC Radio 4's The Museum of Curiosity in February 2023.
January 2022 was a period of intense political controversy about Partygate. In a satirical video sketch released to Twitter, Holt played the part of a Tory MP being asked by an interviewer whether she had or had not attended a Downing Street party. The video was created by splicing the interviewee's responses with actual footage of questions from a Sky News reporter to Boris Johnson. Her response generated an outraged response from some viewers who missed the satire. In 2024, Holt was in a relationship with fellow comedian Stewart Lee, but had split up by 2026.
