Allison graduated from the acting program offered at Ryerson Theatre School. Beginning his career in the early 1990s, Allison eventually went on to act for film, television and theatre alike.

He has also frequently appeared in productions at the Shaw Festival and the Stratford Festival, and in touring productions of Rent and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, and appeared as drag queen Therese in the first episode of Kim's Convenience.
