Allen began his comedy career 3 years ago at our very own Velvet Virgins at the Stand in Edinburgh. His fun-loving blend of camp humour and musical stylings was an instant hit with audiences.

Since then he has gigged up and down the country both as a solo act and as one of the original members, and main musical accompaniment of the Dance Monkey Boy, Dance! Comedy improv troupe. Allen made his Fringe debut in 2003 alongside Sandy Nelson and John Ross in “Stand-up: The Musical.” The show went on to a successful run at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival of 2004.

He has been a guest on Fred Macaulay's radio show and recently appeared on BBC Children in Need.
