BIO

Allison graduated from the acting program offered at Ryerson Theatre School. Beginning his career in the early 1990s, Allison eventually went on to act for film, television and theatre alike.



Primarily a stage actor, he first attained prominence for his performance as Robin Turner in Canadian Stage's 2000 stage adaptation of Outrageous!, for which he received a Dora Mavor Moore Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Male in a Principal Role – Musical in 2001. He has also frequently appeared in productions at the Shaw Festival and the Stratford Festival, and in touring productions of Rent and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and appeared as drag queen Therese in the first episode of Kim's Convenience.

In 2003, Allison produced a solo CD A Whole Lotta Sunshine covering famous songs including "Moon River" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".

In 2019, Allison and Micah Barnes collaborated on Knishes 'n Grits, a stage show in which they explored the links between Jewish music and African American music.
