About this episode

Allison Reese discusses her rise in comedy through viral impressions and the balance of humor and responsibility in her work.

This is the Queerty Interview, where we bring you conversations with the most exciting LGBTQ+ voices in entertainment, activism, and beyond.  Known for her sharp impressions and viral Kamala Harris videos, Allison has quickly become one of the most recognizable comedic voices online. Her work blends satire, identity, and cultural commentary, striking a balance between humor and insight during a particularly intense political moment. In this conversation, Allison reflects on the unexpected rise of her Kamala impression, the whirlwind of going viral, and how she navigates the line between comedy and responsibility. She also shares how her personal experiences, including dating, identity, and creative experimentation, shape her work both online and off. For this interview, Allison sat down with Queerty’s Maria Tridas to talk about her comedy origins, the impact of internet fame, and why she believes comedy is evolving rather than disappearing.
