Early life and education

He has two sisters and attended Harrow Way Community and Kimpton Primary School as a child.[3] He studied comedy writing and performance at Southampton Solent University, despite only obtaining 1 GCSE pass. Cosgrove told a podcast in 2019, "I just kind of blagged my way in. I got the number and email address of the course tutor and bombarded him every day for 6 weeks. In the end, he rang me and asked me to stop emailing him but he did invite me for an audition. I started uni 2 weeks later".[4]
