Alison Leiby is an American comedian and writer. She was a staff writer for Broad City and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Her one-woman show Oh God, A Show About Abortion premiered Off-Broadway in April 2022.
Her autobiographical one-woman comedy show, Oh God, A Show About Abortion recounted her experience having an abortion when she was 35.[6] She began to workshop the show in 2020 as a part of her stand-up,[7] and debuted the production at Cherry Lane Theatre in April 2022.[8] Carrie Battan wrote in a review for the New Yorker, "it’s less structured, and more confessional and diffuse, than traditional comedy. It’s a format that enables Leiby to infuse her show with bouts of sincerity and self-inquiry, and many of her set’s most serious moments are high points."[9] The show had an extended run of 15 performances in August 2022.[10]
She co-hosts the horror film review comedy podcast Ruined with Halle Kiefer.[11]
