Comedian

Canadian émigré Allyson June Smith commands every stage she walks onto with her own dynamite brand of hilarious material, driven by the strong rhythms that are a hallmark of so much North American stand-up.

Her bold, observational style saw her quickly achieve prominence in Canada with credits including her own hour long TV comedy special, radio shows and festival appearances; she has also been nominated on numerous occasions for the Canadian Comedy Award for Best Female Stand Up.Allyson performs for audiences ranging from corporate parties to regional clubs. Her talent has taken her all over the world, and has led to her residing in the UK, where she rapidly rose through the ranks of the circuit to make a name for herself wherever she goes.

“If you are a promoter or club owner, and aren’t booking Allyson June Smith, then you should hand in your badge and your gun on my desk Monday morning! Jason Manford

Whether she’s on the bill as MC, support, or headliner, she skillfully delights them all with her sassy blend of ballsy stand-up, and hilariously insightful commentary. She works for all the major UK and international promoters, is a regular support for Stewart Francis on his live tour dates, and has supported Jason Manford on tour & co hosted Jason’s Absolute Radio Show.
