All this month we are celebrating acts that you need to look out for in 2025. Today we speak to Rosalie Minnitt who is going on tour with the show Clementine from March this year.

Hello tell us all about yourself?

Hi! I’m Rosalie, and I’m a writer and character comedian based in London. I love the Rest is History Podcast, Trisha Paytas and crisps.  

How was 2024 for you?

I think for many early career artists 2024 was a bit of a mixed bag! The industry is in such a tough spot at the moment and the cost of living is making it harder and harder to put on shows, take risks and find time to be creative. Juggling those has been quite difficult but I’ve also learned how to ride the waves this year, celebrate the wins and find agency in an overwhelming industry.

What was the top 3 highlights for you?

I did my first TV job which was really exciting and took part in my first writers room. I also did another run at Soho Theatre in September which was so fun.

What was the key lesson you learnt from last year?

To follow my gut and trust my instincts. It’s a bit cheesy but I think I made some wrong turns this year after following other people’s advice and not trusting my own intuition!

What are your plans for 2025?

I’m going on tour with my character comedy show Clementine in March. Clementine the eponymous heroine, is a woman out of time, a meditation on popcorn feminism and our enduring obsession with romanticising life when reality seems to have fallen so short. Whilst she explores womanhood, girl joy and what it means to find agency in both the past and present as a woman. I really want to experiment with new characters and ideas in the next year and grow both as a writer and a performer. I’m also directing Sarah Robert’s new show and in Jordan Brooke’s show at Soho in February.

What other shows are you looking forward to watching this year?

I’m really looking forward to seeing Kathy Maniura’s cycling man show – it’s so brilliant! And I’m really excited about Lachy Werner’s new show. 

What styles do you hope to see more of in comedy this year?

I really hope to see people taking risks – myself included! Because making work and going to Edinburgh is so expensive, it feels like you can’t really afford to fail anymore but it’s so important to try things out and get things on their feet. The stakes at gig and festivals feel too high and I think some of that comes from other performers and industry pressure. I hope there’s more room for failure and more grace when ideas don’t work at first. 

What comedian is your ones to watch in 2025 and why?

Rachel Baker! She’s such a brilliant character comedian and is hopefully going to do her show at fringe this year. 

Do you have any new years resolutions? If so what are they?

I will try and worry a lot less about what other people think – whether that’s in comedy or in my personal life, try not to fixate on what hasn’t worked and just celebrate the small wins.

Are you on social media? If so how can people find out more about your troupe?

I’m at @rosalieminnitt
