}}Alison Spittle is an Irish comedian, comedy writer, radio producer and actress.[1][1][3][2] She has worked for iRadio,[1] RTÉ Radio 1[1] and Newstalk[7] and created sketches for Republic of Telly and has written and starred in her RTÉ Two sit-com Nowhere Fast in 2017.[1][9][10][11] She is the host and creator of the Alison Spittle Show podcast hosted by headstuff.org.[3][4][5][9][1][6]

Early life

Spittle was born in Harrow, London.[18][1] Spittle's father was a builder.[1][18][9] 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 8.[1][18][25][9][27][27] She attended secondary school in Athlone.[27]

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.[1][18][9] She began working in comedy, supporting PJ Gallagher.[18] This led to her participation in So You Think You're Funny's Irish heats, qualifying for rounds in Edinburgh.[1][27] She got a guest spot on the "Happy Hour" section of the John Murray Show RTÉ Radio 1 from this success.[1]

Her comedy shows have included Alison Spittle Needs an Agent, Alison Spittle Discovers Hawaii (2015),[18][27] and Worrier Princess (2017).[1][7] She has performed at the Edinburgh and Dublin fringe festivals,[7] as well as The Forbidden Fruit and Cork Comedy festivals.[8][9]

Spittle wrote and starred in web comedy shorts for RTÉ Two, and in sketches for Republic of Telly with Kevin McGahern.[9][10] In 2014 Spittle took part in an RTÉ 2 pilot for Choose or Lose, a panel show hosted by Eoghan McDermott of 2FM, with contestants Fred Cooke, Bryan Quinn, Keith Farnan, Aaron Heffernan and Georgia Salpa.[11]

She was a regular contributor to The Right Hook with George Hook on Newstalk.[9][12]

Nowhere Fast

In 2017, she co-wrote six-part sitcom Nowhere Fast with her boyfriend Simon Mullholland.[9][10][13] The series was directed by Simon Gibney.[13] 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.[14] The series began in November 2017, and was generally well received by critics and viewers.[13][15][16]
