Alison Helene Becker was born in Allamuchy, New Jersey. After
graduating from high school by the age of 16, she attended Georgetown
University and because of her fascination with grammar and reading
literature, she decided to get a degree in English and eventually
graduated cum laude. She then began pursuing a career in the performing
arts, mainly focusing on writing and doing sketch comedies and
developing a wide array of original characters/personalities. She has
gotten a variety of acting stints in venues all over New York City,
where she moved after graduation. She's a regular player in the Upright
Citizens Brigade, a theatre improv comedy group, and has performed on
stage in Hopscoth: A New York Sex Comedy, Caroline's on Broadway, and
several other comedy clubs. Alison has also made her way in the
commercial world for Subway, Mastercard, and Hershey and appeared in a
few independent films including the critically acclaimed "Four Dead
Batteries." These past two years, the New Jersey native has continuously
added credentials to her name, this time on TV, by quirkily hosting the
shows "AV Squad" and "Comedy Academy" in the small, yet growing
National Lampoon Network and as a cast member of MTV's hidden camera
show "Boiling Points," where she uses her improv acting skills to play
pranks on unsuspecting people/contestants. Aside from these projects,
she has had bit parts in more TV programs as well.
