1979

One of the best stand up comedians in the UK, Rhona made an impact on the comedy scene in 1992, winning Channel 4's new comedy award. A decade of sell-out Edinburgh Fringe shows and tours in the UK, Australia and New Zealand followed. TV appearances includes Have I Got News For You, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and The Frank Skinner Show. Rhona has also hosted four series of BBC2's pioneering Gaytime TV and in 2000 starred in her first BBC sitcom series, Rhona. In March 2002 she joined the West End cast of The Vagina Monologues, before heading off to the Australian jungle for the massive ITV hit, I'm A Celebrity-Get Me Out Of Here. Her much-repeated "Sometimes we're all like that" speech is now part of television folklore and earned her a 'TV Moments of the Year' award. Her memoir, 1979: A Big Year in a Small Town, was published in 2003.

Rhona still lives alone in an overpriced, substandard flat in North London. She is in the physical shape of a thirty-year-old, but is much older. She plays in defence for Camden F.C. Nothing else matters quite so much.
