Comic & Teller
Ash is a multiple Moth StorySLAM winner, 2026 Willamette Week’s Funniest Five, and 2025 Best of Portland Comedy finalist, known for her tall-yet-true stories shared on stages across the country.
“Allen’s simple folding of story and comedy produces sets that are at once moving, revelatory and pants-pissingly hilarious”-Willamette Week
Originally from Mississippi, Ash grew up as a critter-obsessed barefoot tomboy running through the woods. Her comedy and storytelling are rooted in the red clay hills, kudzu-lined highways, and squirrel-infested thickets that she called home.

“In a city of transplants, Allen stands out as someone so uniquely Portland-coded it’s almost uncanny. It’s as if a caricature of a Portland lesbian walked off a page and onto a stage. But that twang is authentic, as is Allen’s simple folding of story and comedy to produce sets that are at once moving, revelatory and pants-pissingly hilarious.
Allen has a universal appeal disarming enough to cradle audiences large and small across the gender spectrum.” - Brianna Wheeler, Willamette Week, Feb 2026
