About This Episode
My guest this week has many strings to his bow, and they keep growing!
With a career covering cartoons, stand-up comedy, acting, being a magician, and so so much more, how does Allin have time to fit it all in, how did he even get started, and what happens when Lockdown kills off pretty much all your existing avenues?
Join Allin and I as we have a great chat exploring his life so far.
(In fact, we covered so much, that we didn’t even have time to talk about his film The Vampires of Bloody Island, so we recorded that as bonus material for my wonderful Patreon supporters.)
As always, you can listen to this episode via the audio above, or if you prefer to watch us having a chat then there’s the video version of it below.
