Stand-up comedy
Jones first performed stand-up comedy without preparation at a friend's comedy night. In 2017, Jones performed "Inspiration" at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show was 35 minutes long and contained jokes about her visit to the 2016 Summer Paralympics, using disabled toilets, and commentary on the words "disabled" and "". It received 3.5 stars in Chortle and three stars in The List. Metro listed her as one of "9 hilarious women to look out for in 2017". In 2018, Jones' Edinburgh Festival Fringe show was entitled "Fifteen Minutes". Jones talks about a hypothetical "able-bodied Rosie" and discusses a sexual fantasy about Ryan Gosling. She and her routine were featured in Edinburgh Nights, a BBC show about the Fringe presented by Nish Kumar. "Fifteen Minutes" received five stars in The Arts Desk and four stars in iNews, Chortle, The Scotsman and Broadway World. It was listed by Evening Standard as one of the ten "best comedy shows to see" at the festival. Jones performed at the Greenwich Comedy Festival in 2018.

Comedic style
Jones has ataxic cerebral palsy; she incorporates her slow speech pattern into her comedy, constructing jokes to subvert the punchline that audiences expect. For instance, she has used the opening line "As you can tell from my voice, I suffer from being northern." Jones unexpectedly refers to previous jokes later in her performances, a trait which one critic describes as "clinically planned". She describes her style as "cheeky", commenting that she makes jokes that able-bodied people could not. Jones' stand-up comedy relates to disability and sexuality, and has been described as dark comedy. In 2019, Jones received mixed reception for a joke made on The Last Leg in which she said that as a 16-year-old, environmental activistGreta Thunberg should only be concerned with "drinking Lambrini and getting fingered."
