Early life

Spittle was born in Harrow, London.[11][2] Spittle's father was a builder.[2][11][5] The family moved frequently, including to Dresden, Germany, before moving to Spittle's mother's ancestral home of County Westmeath, Tyrrellspass, Mullingar and finally Ballymore at age eight.[2][11][12][5][13] She attended secondary school in Moate.[13]

Career

Graduating from college in Dublin,[1] Spittle moved back to Westmeath where she worked as a researcher for iRadio with comedian Bernard O'Shea.[2][11][5] She began working in comedy, supporting PJ Gallagher.[11] This led to her participation in So You Think You're Funny's Irish heats, qualifying for rounds in Edinburgh.[2][13] She got a guest spot on the "Happy Hour" section of the John Murray Show RTÉ Radio 1 from this success.[2]

Her comedy shows have included Alison Spittle Needs an Agent, Alison Spittle Discovers Hawaii (2015),[11][13] and Worrier Princess (2017).[1][11] She has performed at the Edinburgh and Dublin fringe festivals,[11] as well as The Forbidden Fruit and Cork Comedy festivals.[12][1]

Spittle wrote and starred in web comedy shorts for RTÉ Two, and in sketches for Republic of Telly with Kevin McGahern.[1][13]

She was a regular contributor to The Right Hook with George Hook on Newstalk.[1][4] She is also a regular and well-loved co-host of The Guilty Feminist podcast with Deborah Francis-White.

She appeared in the 2019 comedy film Extra Ordinary.

In 2020, she and fellow comedian Fern Brady started a podcast for the BBC called Wheel of Misfortune.[14] Brady left the podcast in early 2021 and Spittle hosted the show with guests until Kerry Katona became permanent co-host in November 2022.[15]

In November 2023, she appeared on gameshow Richard Osman's House of Games. She finished in 2nd place, with Clive Anderson winning by just one point.

Nowhere Fast

In 2017, she co-wrote six-part sitcom Nowhere Fast with her boyfriend Simon Mulholland.[1][13][5] The series was directed by Simon Gibney.[5] The show sees Angela (played by Spittle) moving back down to Ballybeag in the midlands, having lost her job on a radio show in Dublin following a high-profile libel case.[16] The series began in November 2017, and was generally well received by critics and viewers.[5][6][7]

Personal life

In January 2022, Alison announced she had quit all social media after eating some pink chicken and realising she needed to turn her life around.[17]
