Her BBC Radio 4 series 'Petty Please' airs soon. She is the creator and star of the television series 'Nowhere Fast', which aired on RTE2, BBC America and Stan Australia to critical acclaim.

Alison has appeared on 'Celebrity Gogglebox', 'Richard Osman's House of Games', 'Pointless Celebrities', and as a judge on the 'BBC New Comedy Awards'.
Rory O'Hanlon - Having started his career in Dublin, award winning Irish stand-up comedian Rory O' Hanlon is a firm favourite at comedy clubs across the UK and Ireland. Described by Chortle as having "presence, poise and timing" and by the Irish Times as having "a joke every 30 seconds", his rapid fire delivery regularly has audiences crying with laughter. Rory has amassed millions of view across Tik Tok , Instagram and YouTube, his comedy is guaranteed laughter.
Peter Flanagan is an Irish stand up comedian based in London. His sharp joke writing and hilarious storytelling ensured he reached the finals of both the Irish Comedian of the Year and the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year competitions. He has performed in top comedy clubs and festivals around the world, including London's Comedy Store, the Edinburgh Festival, Perth International Comedy Festival and stand up comedy festivals across Ireland.
Jack Hester - When Jack was growing up all he wanted was to be an Taoiseach (Prime Minister of Ireland). Politics was discussed at every family meal and his Father was in local politics for nearly 20 years before getting elected to Dáil Eireann (Irish Parliament) in 2002 where he served until 2011. Jack concludes as an adult that there were enough jokers in politics and so decided to try become a comedian instead. Jack loves the romantic idea of being a moral booster , traveling around the world telling jokes and stories to lift people's spirits. In traditional Gaelic culture , the Seanchai (Storyteller) is the most revered member of the community. Jack thinks being a stand up is a little like being a Seanchai. "A comic with strong storytelling skills " -Chortle
