Who Kevin Day is
Kevin Day is a British stand-up comedian, comedy writer and sports presenter who came up through the alternative comedy boom of the late eighties and early nineties, playing rooms like The Comedy Store in London. He hosted BBC Radio 1's comedy discussion show Loose Talk, took I Was A Teenage Racist to the 1993 Edinburgh Fringe, and has written for Dave Allen, Jo Brand and The 11 O'Clock Show.
Since 2005 he has been a programme associate on Have I Got News for You, writing with each week's guest host, and his lifelong love of football — he is a devoted Crystal Palace supporter who held his wedding reception at Selhurst Park — runs through his broadcasting, from Match of the Day 2 to The Price of Football, the podcast on the money behind the game he has presented with Kieran Maguire since 2019.
