Hi. I’m Alison.I’m an actress, improviser, and writer. I am a fashionista with an attitude and an offbeat party girl. I will be forever shopping. Fashion obsessed: and I have a collection of vintage Vogue magazines. Happiest when tan. I sing in a band with my Dad (awwww.) Love running and pilates. Am not ashamed to admit I like The Bachelorette. Into PDA just to embarrass my boyfriend. Also karaoke… to embarrass my boyfriend. Sends thank you cards to everyone for everything. Club girl turned good girl.

I am an alumna of both the IOWest Improv Training Program and The Second City Conservatory. I also study improv at UCB and have done stand-up around town.

I host a Bachelor and Bachelorette recap webseries on hellogiggles.com with my co-host Zabeth Russell.

I also wrote and produced my own webseries with my writing partner Muretta Moss! Watch Dyed, Highlighted, & Hopeful on hellogiggles.com!

I perform regularly on the mainstage at IOWest with  my sketch team Taste Test and Mr. Body - every week we perform a completely improvised murder mystery. We just launched our webseries The Real World: Clue. Check it out on Funny or Die!

Bio

Alison KoellischI’m an actress, improviser, and writer. I grew up in Fullerton California, the Paris of Orange County. I enjoy quadratics and I’m learning to juggle.

I have studied acting since I was a little girl, but got into depth as soon as I graduated from Fullerton Union High. I truly fell in love with acting when I began studying at The Ivana Chubbuck Studio.

I took classes and performed at The Second City Training Center Los Angeles and then moved on to continue my training at The IO West Theatre and UCB Theatre. This is where I got the need to make you laugh, seriously I will do unspeakable things to make you laugh. Don’t test me. Anyway, I currently perform with my group Mr.Body every Tuesday evening in The Loft Theatre at IO West.

I’ve shot national commercials for Saturn and Pepsi Max and have been the face of Pink Mascara, Wrangler, and Volkswagen.

Feature film-wise, I’ve had fun parts as a bitchy blonde in both Strange Wilderness (opposite Steve Zahn) and The House Bunny (opposite Anna Farris.)
Credits include several national commercials, and roles in The House Bunny and Strange Wilderness.
