about
Hello! I'm Alison Campbell - an actor, voice actor, theatre maker, compere and facilitator, proudly from the West Country. Now living in Bristol, with a base in London.I trained at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and Bretton Hall/University of Leeds.
THEATRE
Recent work:
2025 -2026: 'We Don't Live Here Anymore' International tour from the Jakop Ahlbom Co. in Amsterdam.
Autumn 2025: 'Jane Eyre' National Tour with Rough House & Live Wire Theatre
FILM
COMEDY
Current work:
Jan - March 2026: Multi-role in 'Saints and Sinners' at Bath Abbey
I have ten years + experience of improvised and devised character based comedy, playing with the absurd, elements of bouffon and clowning.
You can catch some of these creations at various alt. comedy nights and cabarets and hosting at the Compass Presents stage at Shambala.
IMMERSIVE AND INTERACTIVE
A background in improv has helped hundreds of hours of performance in a whole host of places - from detailed sets to an actual Venetian Palazzo, on a ship, in a private jet, at the Grand Prix and in a full swimming pool!
FACILITATION
I'm an experienced facilitator for adults and young people, with a focus on play and confidence building through theatre and drama games. Teaching has taken me across the country and around the world, including co-creating and delivering an introduction to empty space theatre rolled out across every school in Saudi Arabia with Peepolykus and Monash University.
Bath Chronicle on Jane Eyre: "Alison Campbell's performance is nothing short of breathtaking...It is quite simply a five-star theatrical event that demands to be seen"
National World on Jane Eyre: "Central to the success of this theatrical masterclass is Alison Campbell's utterly compelling performance...a must see production"
TESTIMONIALS
Ali is an absolute joy to work with. Her comedic performance is excellent, her timing is spot on and she brings loads of energy to set. She gives us a brilliant range of options across takes. She’s incredibly flexible in her portrayal of different characters, and her ability to switch accents so naturally is genuinely impressive. Beyond that, Ali is collaborative, quick to adapt, and just really easy to have on set, the whole team loved working with her and we’d happily work with her again.
