Rhona Cameron was born in Dundee and raised in Mussleburgh, just outside Edinburgh, where she was named Rosebud Princess 1969, at the tender age of four.

She started stand-up in the early Nineties, winning the So You Think You're Funny? new act award in 1992. The following year she made her Edinburgh Fringe debut, and in 1995 supported Jack Dee on tour. She has been touring on and off in her own right ever since.

In 1996, she hosted the first of four series of the BBC Two show Gaytime TV. She also co-wrote and starred in the BBC Two sitcom, Rhona, which ran for just one six-episode series in 2000

In 2002 she joined the West End cast of The Vagina Monologues, before heading off to the Australian jungle for the first series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, which led to a job hosting the ITV game show Russian Roulette the same year.

The following year, she played the first ever female narrator in The Rocky Horror show on tour and then in the West End.

In 2003 she wrote her first book Nineteen Seventy-Nine: A Big Year in a Small Town, an autobiographical account of a year in her life in childhood as a lesbian in a Mussleburgh. Her debut novel The Naked Drinking Club was published by Ebury Press in 2007.

I've just read Rhona's book 1979 and thought it was great. It was sad in places but also laugh-out-loud funny in others. I really enjoyed it.

After last night's performance in Ayr, Ms Cameron should be issued with a life-time ban from returning to Scotland. Why come here at all if you think your own folk to be so parochial. Keep your gobby wee mouth firmly planted in London hen....they deserve you!

Just watched Rhona at Inverness. Had a fantastic night and was sore laughing at the observations on life that were spot on. Don't leave Scotland so long please

I saw Rhona at the Jersey Opera House a few weeks ago and I have to say she brought the house down. I never stopped laughing from beginning to end. She is fantastic. Come back to Jersey soon Rhona.

Rhona is one of the most talented writer comedians I have ever come across. Her book 1979 was both funny and touching and incredibly honest. I can't wait to see her back at the microphone where she belongs.

Tracey, July 2007

Rhona, you are a credit to womanhood. I am in the process of coming out, my observations on life tell me it's going to be hard, but I will take tentative steps.

Apparently all you need is a gimmick to get on tv these days . Cameron`s gimmick is that she`s a Scottish lesbian - A very unfunny one

A Scottish Elen Degeneres, but who's actually funny
