Rose Bishop is a stand up comedian and writer who grew up in a shed in regional WA before making it all the way to the big smoke (Melbourne) – fabled land of arts, culture, and indoor toilets – via long stints living and bartending in Perth, regional UK, London, Berlin, and Darwin.
Rose was a writer and presenter on three seasons of Channel 31’s award-winning satirical news show ‘The Leak’ from 2018-2019, writing and presenting monologues and sketches on politics and current events. As a stand up, she was a RAW Comedy National finalist in 2019 and is a touring member of the popular lineup show The Breast of the Fest. She was about to present her debut hour of stand up comedy at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2020, before being victimised by a global pandemic that she’s choosing to take extremely personally. Rose is also a playwright, whose third work ‘Maidenhead,’ with dramaturgy and direction by Vidya Rajan, was selected for the first One Act Play Festival at Melbourne’s Butterfly Club in 2019.
Rose’s work revolves around themes of class, body shame, existential anxiety, mental health, and a preoccupation with skeletons. During the day she’s a public servant with an extensive background in dispute resolution / mediation and in the extremely absurd world of local government.
