Comedian du jour Alison Spittle is simmering with jokes and probably rage, she doesn’t know what the burning sensation is.
This silly goose has appeared on Off Menu, You’re Dead To Me, Guilty Feminist, The Gargle.
She’s the co-host of BBC Sounds’ hugely popular Wheel of Misfortune podcast with Kerry Katona. Voted one of British Comedy Guide’s best reviewed artists of the Fringe, Alison – formerly tour support for Maria Bamford and Fern Brady – heads out on her own.
About Alison…
Alison has appeared on television a few times, enough times for her mam to tell strangers that she works for RTE (she doesn’t), not enough times for her to get a free drink. She has appeared on Republic of Telly and RTE’s New Comedy Awards.
She was a team captain on a panel show for RTE 2 called Choose or Lose. A TV presenter for RTE’s coverage of Electric Picnic in 2015.
She performed at the Vodafone Comedy Festival in the Iveagh Gardens and performed her show Alison Spittle Needs an Agent to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Dublin Fringe.
Her show Alison Spittle discovers Hawaii had a full sell-out run at First Fortnight and was nominated for two awards, Little gem award for best show under an hour and the first fortnight award for destigmatizing mental health.
She’s a regular columnist for headstuff.org and UCD university observer. Her article caused a kerfuffle, so much so she trended on Twitter in Ireland and appeared on Joe Duffy’s Liveline, guess which one impressed her mum?
