A little backstory.

Kevin Allison is an American comedian, actor, and storyteller who was a founding member of The State. He joined the group while attending New York University and wrote and performed in its MTV sketch series, which aired from 1993 to 1995.

After The State, Allison developed solo performance and storytelling work. In 2009 he founded RISK!, a live show and podcast where guests tell personal stories about experiences they might otherwise keep private. He also teaches storytelling through The Story Studio. His career connects the collaborative character comedy of The State with a later emphasis on first-person performance.
