From eating lipstick in a bid to fake beauty on the inside to using maths to work out his chances of falling in love, Allan takes ridiculousness very seriously. Using abstract logic to deconstruct the aspirational ideals of modern living, he asks you to take a second look at want you want from life – whether it's love, money, artistic success or beauty – and re-evaluate it in a different light. Often laced with sinister humour and poignant wit, Allan's work contrasts unobtainable principles with human vulnerability to deliver an intriguing form of performance that has been described as 'stand-up tragedy'.

Recent credits have seen Allan's performance lecture 'Love Is A Number' published in Gay Times, celebrating LGBT History Month in Bristol by censoring his own life in 'Censortive Information' and telling audiences in Birmingham about his love life as part of the city council's arts weekend, ArtsFest. Allan was one of four emerging UK artists selected to participate in the inaugural Stockholm Fringe Festival in October 2010 where he performed 'The King of Beauty' .
