Alison Bell is the co-creator, co-writer, producer and star of the award-winning ABC and Netflix series 'The Letdown'. It explores the early years of motherhood in a way that’s honest and moving as well as very funny - there’s the mothers’ group, the sleep training, the non-existent sex life and much more. Like the best writing, there’s something universal, in which we can recognise our own experience. Alison and her co-writer Sarah Scheller won an AACTA Award for Best Television Screenplay, and for Best Comedy Program for both seasons one and two, and Alison herself won the AACTA award for best comedy performer for season two. Before 'The Letdown' Alison performed in various stage productions and television shows. You might have seen her in the series 'Laid', 'The Leftovers', 'No Activity' and Steven Spielberg’s 'Amazing Stories'. Alison has also worked as a script editor and screenwriter for production companies such as Revolver and Madman. And she’s got lots of exciting projects coming up which you’ll hear about here.
