Woman of Influence Interview
October 19, 2018640 Toronto
November 12, 2019Over the past few years, Allison Dore’s name has become synonymous with the Canadian Entertainment scene. Hailing from Ottawa, Ontario, Allison Dore started her career as an actor (and Mcdonald’s employee). After being encouraged by her older brother (a comic, but enough about him) she tried stand-up comedy and soon realized she had a talent for talking and having people laugh at it!
Allison moved to Toronto in 2005 and continued to pursue acting and comedy until another career took her by surprise! Six months after starting a podcast Allison received an offer to co-host her own show on SiriusXM, broadcast internationally via satellite radio. It quickly became apparent Allison had more than a talent for interviewing and radio, she had a passion. As her talent and love for talk radio grew, Allison was given the opportunity to host and curate her own weekly show, BroadCast, celebrating women in comedy. By 2018 she was given her own three-hour daily time shot as the host of The Breakdown.
