bio

Alison Zeidman is a writer and comedian who got her start doing stand-
up in Philadelphia and NYC. Her comedy is frequently described as
“smart,” but maybe it’s just the glasses.


Alison has written for Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (Supervising
Writer), Adam Ruins Everything (Head Writer & Co-Executive Producer)
and Archer, and her humor writing and essays have appeared in the New
York Times, Reductress, Dwell and The Daily Beast.


She’s developed original & adapted scripted TV & film projects including
a half-hour sitcom with Samantha Bee attached to Executive Produce and
a TV spin-off of the animated DC League of Super Pets movie.


Alison was also one of the co-hosts/producers of the long-running stand-
up comedy showcase Dark Spots at Union Hall in Brooklyn, which was a
frequent critics’ pick by Time Out New York and the New York Times.


Alison is currently working on her next original feature script and
workshopping her new hour-long solo show about dead parents and DIY
end-of-life planning, Ready To Die?, in Philadelphia and NYC.
