Interview: David Allison
Comedy Auction and This Is Your Trial were two of the funniest shows that I saw last year, both being very funny improv based formats that absolutely delighted, and they were created by the same man, David Allison, who's also responsible for the Sick Note show and the forthcoming CBBC series Monster Court. Here he talks about those shows, what inspired him to create them, the live comedy shows he's hosted in his garden during the pandemic, the various tv shows he's worked on, and how This Is Your Trial transformed in to Monster Court.
