He is perhaps best known as a writing and performing member of The State on MTV. Popular sketches on the show starring Allison include "Taco Man," "Mr. Magina", "Dreamboy", and "The Jew, the Italian, and the Redhead Gay". Allison came out as gay to the national media at the age of 24 when The State began airing in 1994. Allison created and hosts the uncensored weekly audio podcast RISK!, a storytelling show "where people tell true stories they never thought they'd dare to share." RISK! is also a monthly live show in New York City and Los Angeles. Allison tours to other cities with the show on a consistent basis as well. The live show debuted in August 2009 at Arlene's Grocery in New York and moved to Joe's Pub in October with guests like Margaret Cho, Rachel Dratch, Michael Ian Black, Andy Borowitz, and Janeane Garofalo dropping their usual material for a night to tell unusually honest and often embarrassing stories. The show's home base online is here. RISK! regularly ranks on the top ten lists of podcasts on iTunes{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} and gets well over one million downloads per month.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} The podcast features both stories told at the live shows and studio-recorded "radio-style stories" with music and sound design. The show is considered{{according to whom|date=June 2016}} an alternative to the types of storytelling shows run on National Public Radio, with the difference being that on RISK!, no content is too sexy, too disturbing or too emotional. Allison's best known story from the podcast is "Kevin Goes to Kink Camp."{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} In 2011, the RISK! team created the storytelling school The Story Studio based in New York and at . The school specializes in both creative and corporate storytelling training. Allison's most recent film and TV appearances include Miami, The Ten, Wedding Daze, VH1's Best Week Ever, IFC's Comedy Bang Bang and HBO's Flight of the Conchords. He has written for TV and for production companies like JibJab and Blue Man Group. Allison has taught sketch comedy and storytelling classes at New York University, the People's Improv Theater in New York City (where he also served as artistic director), and the Philly Improv Theater in Philadelphia.[1] On February 26, 2015, Allison appeared on Marc Maron's WTF podcast. On July 30, 2015, Allison appeared on Ken Reid's TV Guidance Counselor podcast. Allison was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is a 1988 graduate of St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Instructor Bio: Kevin Allison|publisher=Philly Improv Theater|date=2010-03-01|accessdate=2010-06-27|url=http://www.phillyimprovtheater.com/performers/kevinallison.html|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100927080212/http://phillyimprovtheater.com/performers/kevinallison.html|archivedate=2010-09-27|df=}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=TX has big presence in Big Apple|publisher=St. Xavier High School|date=2008-08-01|accessdate=2008-10-23|url=http://www.stxavier.org/s/106/stxavier.aspx?pgid=327&ecid=4645}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}} External links
