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.
