Life & Beth

So Alison is a two time WGA award nominated writer.

She has written for Life and Beth, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and The President Show and was a writer and executive producer for Ilana Glazer's Comedy on Earth for Comedy Central.

Alison's critically acclaimed solo show, Oh God! A Show About Abortion, which ran at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York, was named the best political comedy of the year by the New York Times.

In this second part of our conversation, Alison and I are diving into friendship and why it's okay not to have one best friend who you've known since you were three, and how friendship is largely about having different friends for different parts of yourself.
