Comedian and political satirist Rosie Holt went viral during the Covid-19 pandemic with her alter ego, a desperate and loyal Conservative politician.
Political satirist Rosie Holt has said comedy helped her and the public through “this particular incarnation of the Tory government” by giving people a much-needed laugh.
Holt also spoke of the ways in which comedy can be “cathartic” by poking fun at the current state of affairs, helping herself and others through the “frustration” they feel at the Government. “I have some sympathy for Labour because I think they’ll get in and they’ll have quite a lot to do – I think the Government have left the country in a mess.
Throughout her career, Holt has poked fun at several Conservative policies, from Brexit to the Rwanda plan, and highlighted the partygate scandal and the subsequent Sue Gray report as fertile comedic ground.“It’s always sad saying I enjoyed it because obviously it’s due to the misery they caused,” she said.“More and more things would come out, their refusal to admit any wrongdoing became increasingly ridiculous.
