Bio
A comedian, author, improviser, actor, speaker, lyricist and producer, Allan is truly a jack of all trades. Raised by his single, neurotic, Jewish mother, he got his comedy start at an early age by riffing on her issues at the dinner table. Making light of his own and other's misfortunes became very natural to him and eventually sparked his comedy career over ten years ago. He founded the Tysons Comedy Cellar in Vienna, VA, refining his comedy chops by producing and performing in hundreds of comedy shows. He also taught stand-up classes to newbies and veterans alike—including his mom who made her comedy debut at the graduation show!
Allan's humor is dry, and a little wet from perspiration, usually. Poking fun at real subjects like family, religion, politics, work, and Pokémon, his highly relatable material is edgy, provocative, corny, genius and stupid. He loves sprinkling in top-notch word play, much to his audience's delight and dismay.
Allan has performed in clubs, festivals, colleges, corporations, non-profits, bar mitzvahs, and weddings across the country. He's opened for Keegan-Michael Key and Sam Richardson. He has headlined Jammin Java and Church of Satire Comedy Club. He was a member of the Unkosher Comedy Tour (2018-2020) and appeared on TV (TLC, Fox5DC, FPA). Even though he tragically lost his dad when he was a baby, Allan mastered the "dad joke" and wrote over 600 of them. Daddy Issues: A Fatherless Comedian's Original Jokes was a #1 new release on Amazon. During the pandemic Allan lost his mind and recorded an hour-long special. Daddy Issues: The Stand-up Special went viral on YouTube.
Allan was listed in Forbes as an impact leader for the American Heart Association, using his comedy platform to raise thousands of dollars. In addition to stand-up, Allan stays busy with his cast of characters on TikTok and Instagram, receiving over 750,000 views. He was also in a commercial for Clink, an alcohol delivery service.
