Rosie Jones is too happy to be funny | LATITUDE 2026 x The Independent

Rosie Jones may be one of Britain's sharpest comedians, but she's facing an unexpected creative crisis: happiness. The BAFTA-nominated star, who is performing at Latitude Festival this summer, has revealed that her blossoming relationship is proving something of a comedic obstacle. "We've been together a year and it's so boring how happy I am," she tells The Independent. "No one likes hearing that I'm just happy and in a really loving relationship — it's no good for jokes." Jones is among the headline acts at Latitude Festival 2026, taking place at Henham Park, Suffolk, from 23-26 July. Tickets are on sale now at latitudefestival.com.
