Hi! I'm Alison. I'm a comedian. I pay the bills by playing people on TV, in movies and online. I also write words and worry too much. I have an embarrassingly low level of fame where no one knows my name, but they have this feeling that they went to school with me. I like firm handshakes, information, my dog, smart people and the Earth. I'm on Parks and Rec sometimes and VH1 even more. I'm sorry if I once pranked you on MTV. But, c'mon! That was fun, right?
I have been dreading writing this post because after I found out the news, I just didn’t want it to be true. But, alas, it is. Here goes: Mayne Street is no more. (Send all your complaints to ESPN.) We have not been picked up for another season. I know this was “just a webshow,” but of all the tv shows and movies I’ve worked on, this has been one of my favorite projects. I loved working with everyone who helped to make Mayne Street: the actors, producers, camera guys, interns, guest stars, everyone. It was such a great group of people and I loved coming back to it every few months for more episodes. Sarah Morton is maybe my favorite character that I’ve ever played. The response from people online, and from the many people who have emailed me, or come up to me in person these past few years, has been amazing. Thank you so much. If you’ve never seen the show, many of the episodes are still online (youtube or ESPN). I highly suggest it for fans of sports, or just for comedy fans in general. We had an incredible cast. In the next few weeks, I will be posting some of my favorite episodes.
Above is “Sarah Morton’s HR Interview.” This was an improvised video from way back when I was still figuring out who this character was.
It’s been really fun. Thanks for the memories.
