Hello! Tell us about yourself?

Hello, my name is Alison Spittle, I’m a stand-up comedian and human. Doing a fringe show. My USP is I was born in the same hospital as Peter Andre and a filming location used in the omen. 

How did you come up with the name of your show that you’re taking to the fringe?

 The show was originally going to be about a crime at a swimming pool. I was considering calling it silent wetness, but it was long and polarising. As the months have gone on, I’ve been focusing on other stuff in the show and just settled on wet, it’s short and polarising and that’s how I like it. 

Tell us all about your show!

 So, oop where do I start? I think essentially most of the show is about fights, my relationship with violence, stuff I feel shame about but most of all it’s funny. all of these stories that I feel slight pangs of adrenaline saying, its fun putting the show together.

What other acts are you looking forward to seeing at the fringe?

So many, I’ve experienced previews of Alice Fraser, Elf Lyons and Sikisa, I thought they were tiptop. 

Celya Ab, Eleanor Tiernan, Mark Silcox and Sara Barron will be great. 

I’m also looking forward to werewolf, dreamgun filmreads and silly shows. I want to put on a nu metal karaoke night.  Need to pull my finger out and sort that
