Sidley Standup

Allan Sidley - Comedian & Author Bio

A comedian, author, actor, hip hop improviser, and producer, Allan Sidley is a jack of all trades and has performed in festivals, clubs, and colleges across the country. Allan got his comedy start at a young age, riffing on his Mom's issues at the dinner table. Many years later he founded the Tysons Comedy Cellar, where he refined his comedy chops by producing hundreds of comedy shows and teaching stand-up classes.

Allan's humor is dry, and a little wet from perspiration, usually. Poking fun at real subjects like his family, religion, politics, and pokémon, his highly relatable material includes jokes and one liners that are edgy, provocative, corny, genius, and stupid. He loves sprinkling in top notch word play much to his audience's delight and dismay.

Allan has hosted clean shows and corporate comedy gigs for Deloitte, the military, and non profit agencies, but he prefers the intimacy of a club. Allan has recently headlined Jammin Java, Church of Satire Comedy Club, Highwood Theater, and has opened at Laugh Index Festival (2017, 2018, 2019). He was a member of the Unkosher Comedy Tour (DC 2018 & 2019) and has appeared on TV (TLC, Fox 5, FPA.) Even though he lost his Dad at a young age, Allan has mastered the “dad joke” and wrote an entire book of them. Featuring 187 pages of original jokes, Daddy Issues was a #1 new release on Amazon. After not being on stage at all during the pandemic, Allan recorded an hour-long comedy special on Father's Day 2021. He was seen on Fox 5 talking about his book, comedy, and show taping. Special release coming soon.
