Alan was born in New Zealand and has been performing as long as he can remember. After various jobs, including library shelf stacker and orange juice squeezer, he took up acting full-time becoming, for a time, New Zealand’s most famous transvestite. Moving to Melbourne in 1995, Alan has worked in film, television, on stage & radio as a writer, director, actor & stand-up comedian. He has appeared in four feature films: The Craic; Siam Sunset (in which he had his one and only sex scene. Ok, so it was cut out); The Nugget; and Bad Eggs.

He has also guested on numerous TV shows, including Kath and Kim series 2 and 3 (Oh yeah, that was him pashing Sharon next to the rubbish bins at the hospital) and written for The Games.

Alan has appeared as a Senator, a nun, a WWI officer and a morbidly obese man on Channel 10’s hit comedy Thank God You’re Here, and played to over 70,000 people on a tour of the country in The Spicks and Spectacular a live version of the ABC TV music game show Spicks and Specks – on which Alan can be seen every Wednesday night.

Alan can be heard Sunday mornings in Melbourne and across Victoria on ABC 774 , each week listeners can enjoy his inimitable interview style with an eclectic range of guests. He is also a regular fill-in on ABC Local Radio.
