Born in Ottawa, Ontario Allison Dore started her career in the entertainment industry as an actor. It wasn’t until her older brother, renowned comedian Jon Dore, encouraged her to try stand-up that she got introduced to the world of comedy. Years later, down a long and winding road, it lead her to SiriusXM Canada as a talk show host.
It was here where Allison found her true passion in interviewing people and sharing their stories. Currently, Allison hosts the popular SiriusXM Canada Talks (ch. 167) show The Breakdown airing LIVE weekdays from 2-5pm ET. She is also the host and curator of Allison Dore’s BroadCast on Just For Laughs Canada (Ch. 168) celebrating women in comedy all over the world. The show airs Tuesdays at 8:00 PM EST.
After falling in love with long form interviews, she launched her podcast Digging In, an hour long, in depth conversation with artists, entrepreneurs, and anyone with a story to tell.
In September 2018, Allison founded Howl & Roar Records, a female centric comedy record label. 80% of the label’s focus is creating content with women in comedy, leaving space to work with anyone who needs support in the industry. The goal is to empower artists and amplify voices not always being heard in entertainment. Allison is a highly coveted speaker and host and shares her story of battling mental illness and addiction in order to bring hope to those who are currently struggling.
