About Ian Hislop

Editor of "Private Eye" magazine
Team captain on "Have I Got News For You"
Renowned British satirist and broadcaster
Ian Hislop is the editor of "Private Eye" and the team captain of "Have I Got News For You", where he has appeared in every episode of over 50 series. The show has won multiple awards and often makes headlines. He has received the highest honour from the British Society of Magazine Editors and is a prominent broadcaster, presenting documentaries on history, politics, art, and religion.

In addition to his roles on "HIGNFY" and "Private Eye", Ian frequently appears on TV and radio as a commentator and guest. His credits include "Question Time", the professional version of "University Challenge", and "The One Show". His programmes have addressed fake news, the scout movement, taxation, railways, and modern and historical perspectives on immigration, bankers, and benefits.

As one of Britain’s notable satirists, Ian began by writing sketches for "Spitting Image" and "Harry Enfield" before moving on to screenplays. He co-wrote the BBC sitcom "My Dad’s The Prime Minister" and the film "The Wipers Times", which centres on the satirical paper created by soldiers during the First World War.

In his after-dinner speeches, Ian shares insights on litigation, drawing from his experiences as the most sued man in Britain. He discusses his attempts to increase overseas sales of "Private Eye" and highlights the challenges of entering the export market.
