My sister gave me her savings | Jess Robinson

When Jess Robinson started announcing loudly that she was Jewish, she was scared… But a group of sequin-clad men showed her that she deserves to be included exactly as she is.

Comedian, singer, actor and author, Jess Robinson, shares how small acts of consistent kindness can add up to something massive, and we hear how someone had so much faith in her – and so much kindness – that they gave everything to make her Edinburgh Fringe show happen. Plus a sneak peak into the kindness of Jess's grandma, and into Jess's new book.

Jess Robinson's book My Life is Rosi is available now.

Thanks so much for being here!
