Searches for Roisin Conaty tend to drift quickly from her comedy to her private life, and the public record is far thinner on that second part. What the record does hold is a career that includes the 2010 Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer and GameFace, the sitcom she created, wrote and starred in (Wikipedia biography), and this page separates that verifiable work from the personal questions no source we checked answers.

What age is Roisin Conaty?
Wikipedia lists her date of birth as 25 March 1979, but some sources reportedly give 26 March 1979, so the exact day is disputed (Wikipedia biography). An age cannot be worked out with confidence until that question is settled, and this page does not calculate one.
A one-day gap looks trivial, but every birth date in this record rests on secondary profiles rather than a primary record. Treat the date as provisional until a primary record or an on-record interview settles it.
Birthplace is reported less consistently. Hollywood Mask reportedly places her birth in Camden, north London, to Irish parents (Hollywood Mask profile), while Wikipedia describes her as British and Irish (Wikipedia biography).
Has Roisin Conaty had work done?
- No input contains information on cosmetic procedures or any other treatment.
- This page reports no answer rather than inferring one from photographs or public appearances.
The implication: appearance questions attract guesswork more than most, and the record here gives nothing to build a guess on. Silence is the accurate answer.
Does Roisin Conaty have a partner?
No source reviewed for this page states that Roisin Conaty has a partner, spouse or civil partner. Nothing is confirmed, and nothing is denied either.
The same gap applies to family. The career sources here cover her work and say nothing about her household.
Has Roisin Conaty got children?
- No input states whether Roisin Conaty has children.
- No child is named in any of the research notes, verified facts or source pages used here.
Who is Roisin Conaty’s sister?
- The provided inputs do not name a sibling, so no sister can be confirmed.
- Her profile material focuses on her career, which leaves family ties unrecorded.
The catch: relationship questions are among the most searched, and the honest answer here is that the record is empty. Anyone who needs a confirmed status should look for an on-record statement from Conaty herself.
Is Roisin Conaty sober?
Nothing in the inputs addresses alcohol use or sobriety. The question is a lifestyle claim, and answering it would require a direct statement that the sources do not provide.
Public work is not a reliable guide to private habits, so this page does not infer one from her roles or appearances.
Is Roisin Conaty a smoker?
- The provided inputs contain no statement about smoking.
- No credit, interview or biography excerpt in the research addresses the subject.
What this means: lifestyle questions stay open until the person concerned speaks to them on the record, and the research offers no such statement.
Is Roisin Conaty friends with Greg Davies?
The two comedians share a professional link: Conaty played Jo in Channel 4’s Man Down, which co-starred Greg Davies, from 2013 to 2017 (Wikipedia biography). A shared sitcom is a working relationship, and it does not establish a friendship.
No input states that Conaty and Davies are friends, so that claim stays unverified.
Has Greg Davies got a wife?
- The inputs contain no information about Greg Davies’ marital status.
- Davies appears in this research only as Conaty’s co-star on Man Down.
Is Greg Davies on Ozempic?
- The inputs contain no medical or medication information about Greg Davies.
- This page will not infer anything from his appearance.
The catch: the strongest documented link is a sitcom, which is a workplace connection. Any claim of friendship, a marriage or a medical detail needs a named, primary source before it is attached to either name.
What movies and shows has Roisin Conaty been in?
Her best-known work is GameFace (2017), a Channel 4 sitcom she created, wrote and starred in as Marcella (Wikipedia biography). The first full series premiered on E4 on 12 October 2017, and Hulu acquired the show for the United States after the pilot screened on Channel 4 (i newspaper interview).
- GameFace pilot on Channel 4, 2014 (Wikipedia biography)
- GameFace second series on Channel 4 and Hulu, July 2019 (Wikipedia biography)
- After Life as Roxy (Daphne) on Netflix, 2019–2020 (Wikipedia biography)
- Big Fat Quiz Of Everything, broadcast 7 January 2021, as part of a team with Rob Beckett (Wikipedia biography)
- Funny Woman, the Sky period drama in which she plays Greta opposite Gemma Arterton, in 2024, according to an Off The Kerb Productions agency notice
- Zero Stars, the TLC travel documentary comedy series co-starring Sara Pascoe, according to an Off The Kerb Productions artist page
Recognition also includes Heat magazine’s Unmissables Comedian of the Year award in 2019 (Wikipedia biography).
Where is Roisin Conaty touring?
- No sourced, current tour schedule was found in the research for this page.
- Her live and unscripted work is handled by Off The Kerb Productions, which signed her to its stable (Off The Kerb Productions agency notice).
- Live dates are therefore a gap, not a fact to fill.
The screen record is most solid where broadcasters and streamers document it, and thinnest where it depends on agency pages. Readers who want a full filmography will not find one here, and the gap comes from sourcing rather than from a lack of work.

The implication: the confirmed column is short and documented, while the open column covers the questions most readers arrive with. That imbalance is the finding, not a failure of the research.
What Conaty and Alex Horne have said
Conaty’s own account in her i newspaper interview is the most direct record of how she describes her work.
“It was a real moment of realisation: oh my god, I’m a comedian. It’s a diagnosis. It’s not a thing you can give up.”
Roisin Conaty, in her i newspaper interview
“I want to push myself – you’ve got one life and I’d rather fail hard than be scared.”

Taskmaster creator Alex Horne reportedly said of her, according to a TVmaze credits listing:
“She’s the worst. But also one of my favourites.”

The implication: her quoted words are about the work, and they are the most reliable window the record offers. They are not evidence for anything in her private life.
The next verifiable facts about Conaty are most likely to come from the places the current record already points to: broadcasters, her agency and her own on-record interviews. For readers who came for the personal details, the choice is clear: accept the blank fields as the true state of the record, or wait for a named, on-record statement from Conaty herself.
