Watch the episode here:

Alison first walks by the archives at Whiplash in 2011 and I photograph her for real in 2013. In this interview, we look over photos from her early comedy days up to her Cherry Lane Theater show in 2022.

A fave from The Cobra Club before Good For You (now Live Snakes) - December 4, 2021

Call it the comedy pipeline, infrastructure, ladder... whatever it was, it changed significantly from 2011 to today. We get into it in this interview. Alison also wrote about the aftermath of her show, "Oh God, A Show About Abortion". I think it's one of the best documents of this time we're in.

She has a book out THIS WEEK. Book release show at the Bell House on July 7.

You can hear more of her on the Ruined podcast.
