In GBA 122 we get better acquainted with Allan. He talks about being tall, being vulnerable, being shy and so much more.

We discuss storytelling, acting, growing up as an introverted "dork" within a struggling single parent family in Perth, Australia and auditioning to be a giant clown in Cirque du Soleil.

The episode also features a clip of Allan performing a true story at Stand Up Tragedy.

At PBH's Free Fringe (part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival):
