About Andrew Doyle
Andrew Doyle (born 1970) is a playwright, journalist, and political satirist from Northern Ireland, who has written for the fictional character Jonathan Pie and created the character Titania McGrath. Born in Derry to a Catholic family, he completed his undergraduate studies at Aberystwyth University before obtaining a master's degree at the University of York. He holds a doctorate in early Renaissance poetry from the University of Oxford, having studied at Wadham College, Oxford.
Doyle regularly writes for Spiked and runs a comedy night in London called Comedy Unleashed. He has performed his stand-up shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, four of which have also been performed at the Soho Theatre, London. He has appeared on Sky News as a commentator and as a panel-member on The Moral Maze on BBC Radio 4, and he was previously a visiting research fellow at Queen's University, Belfast. In April 2018 Doyle created the fictional character of Titania McGrath, initially via a parody Twitter account designed, according to Doyle, to mock woke culture. Since 2021, he has hosted a weekly show titled Free Speech Nation on GB News, and he is a faculty member of Peterson Academy with a course called The Shakespearean Tragedies.
As an author, Doyle is the co-author with Tom Walker of Jonathan Pie: Off the Record (2017) and wrote Titania McGrath's Woke: A Guide to Social Justice (2019), which was positively received by celebrities including Ricky Gervais but negatively reviewed by Alex Clark in The Guardian. He also wrote Free Speech and Why It Matters (2021) and The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World (2022). Doyle describes himself as left-wing, is a Brexit supporter, and supported Jeremy Corbyn during the 2017 United Kingdom general election. He is gay, and his uncle was the political activist Eamonn Melaugh.
