Francis Foster is a British comedian born to a British father and Venezuelan mother.[1][2][3]
In his stand-up comedy career Foster has opened for such comedians as Eddie Izzard, Paul Chowdhry and Jeff Garlin.[4]
Foster is also a conservative commentator[5] and in February 2025, while addressing the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship in London, Foster stated a warning about Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, saying Starmer was "far more dangerous" than the political right acknowledges. Foster also challenged the idea that Starmer lacks intelligence.[6]
Triggernometry
Foster co-hosts the Triggernometry podcast with Konstantin Kisin.[7]
Triggernometry was named one of the "best 20 escapist podcasts" in The Daily Telegraph in 2020.[8] Telegraph journalist Boudicca Fox-Leonard wrote "I love Triggernometry, by the comedians Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster. It’s long-form and they’re quite controversial at times."[8]
Debut book
In 2025, Hodder & Stoughton published Foster's debut book about his time as a teacher, Classroom Confidential: The truth about being a teacher and why you should never become one.[4]
