On TV her credits include Newman and Baddiel in Pieces (BBC2), and presenting for The Travel Show (BBC2) and Dream Ticket (ITV) among others. She has toured internationally with her theatre company The Weird Sisters and recently toured the UK with her one-woman show Lady in Bed . She has directed for the Garrick Theatre, Unicorn Theatre, Vienna's English Theatre and Youth Music Theatre amongst others. Alison has taught improv all over the world.
