Since this breakout success, she has established herself as a versatile talent across television and live performance. Viewers recognise her from a vast array of high-profile programmes, including Have I Got News for You, 8 Out of 10 Cats, QI, and as one of the original contestants on the first series of Taskmaster. Her creative output extends into acclaimed acting and writing roles. She is the creator, executive producer, and lead star of the sitcom GameFace, and she earned praise for her portrayal of the irrepressible Jo in Channel 4's Man Down between 2013 and 2017. More recently, she played Roxy in the first two seasons of the Netflix hit After Life and has co-hosted major international formats such as Amazon Prime's Last One Laughing. In 2019, her contribution to the industry was further honoured when she was named Comedian of the Year by Heat magazine. With a natural gift for character comedy and a bright, down-to-earth delivery style, Roisin's material often focuses on the relatable frustrations of modern life.
