Rosie Jones was too funny. She was\ncriminally funny. Her jokes were the kind where you laugh so hard you might die,\nand then you have to look round to make sure you aren\u2019t the only evil person\nthere. Where you would then be surprised to see others laughing too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>

When Jones came out on stage there\nwas a massive round of applause. She was quick to make even this inevitability\nfunny, saying how her favourite part of any show is when she gets cheered in\u2026\nand then keeps getting cheered in\u2026 and keeps getting cheered in\u2026 and keeps\ngetting cheered in\u2026 and then gets to the microphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>

She faced her audience head on and\nreferenced her cerebral palsy straight away. Her direct approach was natural,\nand encouraged an atmosphere where we could laugh at each other rather than\nwith each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>

I think everyone\u2019s favourite part\nof the show was when she started discussing her \u2018perfect vulva\u2019 she told us how\n\u2018everyone had hobbies in lockdown\u2019 and that hers was adult websites. She\ncarried on. Making eye contact with squirming members of the audience and\nsaying, \u2018there isn\u2019t a vagina I haven\u2019t had my creepy little eyes on\u2019. It was\nhysterical (well at least, I thought so). She addressed the people who didn\u2019t\nthink so directly as is her style, retorting, \u2018I know there are some of you who\nfeel like you can\u2019t laugh at this, thinking every vulva is perfect in their own\nindividual way\u2026 but we both know\u2026 that\u2019s not the case\u2019. So funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>

There were lots of times where Jones\nwould set up a joke and I wasn\u2019t certain where it would go (especially when she\nsaid she wanted Sir David Attenborough to die) but I was always certain in her\nand I knew she would take me somewhere funny (She wanted him to die so she\ncould take his national treasure status).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>

Even though there was a light\nhearted air to the gig, Jones managed to cover some serious ground. She\ndiscussed her own ableism about a man who also had cerebral palsy when she saw\nhim sexting on the bus. She spoke about how people will comment \u2018she doesn\u2019t\nlook gay\u2019 to which she responds that she will start wearing a strap-on to the\nco-op to make them feel at ease. At the time I was just laughing but looking\nback, that\u2019s some serious stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>

I would recommend seeing Rosie\nJones if you want to have a stitch from laughing too hard. I saw her at the\nMachynlleth comedy festival and I would also recommend going there next year.\nIt\u2019s a great place to see pros like Rosie Jones and comedians who are just\nstarting out doing what they do best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Roedd Rosie Jones\nyn rhy ddoniol. Roedd hi’n droseddol o ddoniol. Ei j\u00f4cs oedd y math lle dych\nchi’n chwerthin mor galed efallai y byddwch chi’n marw, ac yna mae’n rhaid i\nchi edrych o gwmpas i wneud yn si\u0175r nad chi yw’r unig berson drwg yno. Lle\nbyddech chi wedyn yn synnu gweld eraill yn chwerthin hefyd.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>

Pan ddaeth Jones\nallan ar y llwyfan roedd yna rownd fawr o gymeradwyaeth. Roedd hi\u2019n gyflym i\nwneud hyd yn oed hyn yn anochel yn ddoniol, gan ddweud mai ei hoff ran o unrhyw\nsioe yw pan fydd hi\u2019n cael ei hannog\u2026 ac yna\u2019n cael ei hannog\u2026 a\u2019i hannog\u2026 a\u2019i\nhannog\u2026 ac yna\u2019n cyrraedd y meicroffon.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>

Wynebodd ei\nchynulleidfa yn uniongyrchol a mynd ati\u2019n syth i s\u00f4n am ei pharlys yr ymennydd.\nRoedd ei hagwedd uniongyrchol yn naturiol, ac yn annog awyrgylch lle gallem\nchwerthin am bennau ein gilydd yn hytrach na gyda’n gilydd.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>

Dwi’n meddwl mai\nhoff ran pawb o’r sioe oedd pan ddechreuodd hi drafod ei ‘fwlfa perffaith’ fe\nddywedodd hi wrthon ni sut ‘roedd gan bawb hob\u00efau yn ystod Cofid’ a gwefannau\noedolion oedd un hi. Parhaodd i edrych i fyw llygad aelodau o\u2019r gynulleidfa a\noedd yn gwingo gan ddweud, \u2018does dim gwain fy mod i heb gael fy llygaid bach\niasol arni\u2019.<\/span> <\/span>Roedd yn pawb yn ffrwydro chwerthin (wel o leiaf, roeddwn i’n meddwl).\nAnerchodd y bobl nad oedd yn meddwl mor uniongyrchol \u00e2\u2019i steil, gan ateb, \u2018Dwi\u2019n\ngwybod bod rhai ohonoch sy\u2019n teimlo na allwch chwerthin am hyn, gan feddwl bod\npob fwlfa yn berffaith yn eu ffordd unigol eu hunain\u2026 ond y ddau ohonom\ngwybod… nid felly y mae’. Mor ddoniol.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>

Roedd yna lawer o\nweithiau y byddai Jones yn sefydlu j\u00f4c a doeddwn i ddim yn si\u0175r i ble y\nbyddai’n mynd (yn enwedig pan ddywedodd ei bod eisiau i Syr David Attenborough\nfarw) ond roeddwn bob amser yn si\u0175r ohono ac roeddwn yn gwybod y byddai’n mynd\n\u00e2 mi i rywle doniol. (Roedd hi eisiau iddo farw er mwyn iddi gymryd ei statws\ntrysor cenedlaethol).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/p>

Er bod naws\nysgafn i’r gig, llwyddodd Jones i godi pethau difrifol. Trafododd ei gallu ei\nhun am ddyn a oedd hefyd \u00e2 pharlys yr ymennydd pan welodd e yn secstio ar y\nbws. Soniodd am sut y bydd pobl yn dweud ‘dyw hi ddim yn edrych yn hoyw’ ac\nymatebodd y bydd hi’n dechrau gwisgo strap-on i’r co-op i wneud iddyn nhw\ndeimlo’n iawn. Ar y pryd roeddwn i’n chwerthin yn unig ond wrth edrych yn \u00f4l,\nroedd hynny’n stwff difrifol.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Byddwn yn\nargymell gweld Rosie Jones os ydych chi eisiau magu pigyn gwynt wrth chwerthin yn\nrhy galed. Gwelais i hi yng Ng\u0175yl Gomedi Machynlleth a byddwn hefyd yn argymell\nmynd yno y flwyddyn nesaf. Mae’n lle gwych i weld pros fel Rosie Jones a\ndigrifwyr newydd ddechrau gwneud yr hyn maen nhw’n ei wneud orau.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
