Bred to be a Comic
As an only child, Allan was raised by his single Mother on the mean streets of Vienna, VA. She's still a single Mother...in case whoever is reading this is single and interested in dating an older lady. But let's not make this About Me about her. Allan journeys to bring laughter to those who need it, and a suitable step-dad to take home (hopefully).
A comedian, improviser, and lyricist, Allan is a jack off all trades. Allan's style is dry, and a little wet from perspiration, usually. He pokes fun at Jews, mostly his Mom & Grandma, and dissects cultural taboos like online dating while balding or being a better +1 for a funeral than a wedding. Often serious with hints of silly, Allan manages to keep dark topics light-hearted and his audiences on their toes (so bring comfortable footwear). His comedy has been described as, "great for first dates."
He's opened (the door for) Sinbad, and toured throughout Eastern Europe in the summer of 2011 (not for comedy, just a fun fact). He did however recently feature at the Cozzys Comedy Club, DC Drafthouse, open at Laugh Index Festival 2018, and was a member of the Unkosher Comedy Tour.
