ALLYSON WEINHOLD
Storytelling Prodigy
Allyson is an incredibly talented and accomplished writer and storyteller. She's most often the brains behind all of the weirdest BadAssKnitties' sketches and her love for hedgehogs is paralleled only by her passion for sour gummy candy. You can catch her performing stand up around Los Angeles at The Comedy Store, Flappers and The Moving Arts Theater.
