Kevin Day

Kevin Day is an award-winning comedian and BAFTA-nominated television writer. From his first TV appearance on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in 1987 to hosting the bafflingly successful ‘Price of Football’ (Radio Times Podcast of the Year in 2023) Kevin has been part of the UK’s comedy and broadcasting scene for a very long time and has worked with a very long list of stars including Dave Allen, Bill Bailey, Ball and Boe, Joe Brand, Ronnie Corbett and on through the rest of the alphabet.

He has written on iconic shows such as ‘They Think It’s All Over’, ‘Never Mind the Buzzcocks’ (where Slash said he made the “best cup of tea ever”) and ‘A League of Their Own’ and has been one of the lead writers on ‘Have I Got News For You’ for the past 42 series. Clare Balding said: “if you laughed at a joke on TV recently Kevin probably wrote it”.

 Kevin was also part of the 5Live Sony Gold Award winning presenting team from Cheltenham and Ascot for fifteen years when at the same time he was also that bloke from Match of the Day 2 filming with football fans across the land. His first two books, ‘Who Are Ya’ and ‘Unfit and Improper Persons’ were best-sellers for Bloomsbury and the third is due in August 2026.
