She previously lived in Chicago and worked with the Second City's touring company and an all-female iO Theater troupe.

That can be more freeing than writing material for yourself.|author=Gates on her writing process at the Second City[7]}}After moving to Chicago, Gates began to take improv "a little more seriously" and, after going through the Second City's conservatory program, was hired by the Second City after its annual general audition, eventually moving from understudy to part of the BlueCo touring company in 2015.[1][6] She said that "one of the great things about performing at Second City" was getting to continually "make tweaks and re-improvise" scenes after having planned with fellow cast members and performed in front of an audience.[1] While with Second City, Gates said that "my dream job would be writing instead of performing".[1] In Chicago, Gates was also a member of Virgin Daiquiri, an all-female iO improv group.[7] She also performed with Casual Encounters for iO, Shinbone Alley for Chemically Imbalanced Comedy, and the Fallen Elegant.[6] Saturday Night LiveAt an iO showcase before the forty-fourth season of Saturday Night Live, NBC's long-running sketch comedy show, Gates performed pieces about "a plantation docent describing her awful life, a teacher humiliated by a fall in front of the class, and White House advisor Stephen Miller", according to the Chicago Sun-Times.[7] Gates was announced as a new SNL writer on September 21, 2018.[8] After her fourth week at SNL, Gates was noted for her sketch "Teacher Fell Down", which Alison Herman of The Ringer called "a gloriously weird bit from the Jonah Hill episode centering on {{bracket|Kate}} McKinnon's drama queen of a driver's ed instructor".[9] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://www.jacksonvillemag.com/2015/12/31/second-city-alison-gates/|title=Extended interview with the Second City’s Alison Gates|last=Tolbert|first=Jocelyn|date=December 31, 2015|work=Jacksonville Magazine|accessdate=November 25, 2018}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Gates, Alison}}2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.secondcity.com/new_hires_SNL_Season_44|title=Meet The New Hires Joining SNL For Season 44|date=September 21, 2018|publisher=The Second City|accessdate=November 25, 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://resumes.breakdownexpress.com/1420119-4096906-27875|title=Alison Gates - AEA|publisher=Breakdown Services|accessdate=November 25, 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://collegearts.yale.edu/biography/alison-gates|title=Alison Gates|publisher=Yale University|accessdate=November 25, 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.yalerecord.com/about/staff/staff0910.php|title=2009-2010 Editorial Board|date=October 23, 2010|work=The Yale Record|accessdate=November 25, 2018}} 6. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/daily-southtown/lifestyles/ct-sta-best-of-second-city-st-0624-20160621-story.html|title='Best of Second City' at Beverly Arts Center|last=Virtusio|first=Jessi|date=June 21, 2016|work=Chicago Tribune|accessdate=November 25, 2018}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/snl-hire-ego-nwodim-featured-player-writers-44th-new-season/|title='SNL' hires performer from L.A., three writers from Chicago|last=Jevens|first=Darel|date=September 21, 2018|work=Chicago Sun-Times|accessdate=November 25, 2018}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://theinterrobang.com/saturday-night-live-announces-new-castmember-four-new-writers/|title=Saturday Night Live Announces New Castmember, Four New Writers|date=September 21, 2018|work=The Interrobang|publisher=Orange Pop Media|accessdate=November 25, 2018}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theringer.com/tv/2018/11/12/18086402/snl-season-44-check-in|title='SNL' Season 44 Check-in: The Best Sketches Are the Ones You Haven't Read About on Twitter|last=Herman|first=Alison|date=November 12, 2018|work=The Ringer|accessdate=November 25, 2018}} 14 : American comedy writers|Living people|Screenwriters from Massachusetts|Writers from Chicago|Actresses from Massachusetts|Actresses from Chicago|Yale University alumni|21st-century American women writers|21st-century American actresses|American television writers|Women television writers|American women screenwriters|Screenwriters from Illinois|Year of birth missing (living people) |
