ALI MacLEAN
Ali MacLean is an award winning writer and DJ who hails from Boston. Ali attended Miami University of Ohio where she won a scholarship to the La Jolla Playhouse Conservatory to study with Tony Award winner Des McAnuff.
Upon moving to Los Angeles, she began studying improv at the acclaimed Groundlings Theatre under the tutelage of FRIENDS star Lisa Kudrow. Ali’s acting credits include THE JIMMY KIMMEL SHOW, HBO’s MR. SHOW with Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, CAN’T HARDLY WAIT, KILLER BUD, STARKWEATHER and BREAK A LEG. Her writing credits include MTV’s BUZZKILL, WEB RIOT, HEAD TRIP, BLAME GAME, KATHY GRIFFIN’S SO CALLED REALITY, BIG URBAN MYTH SHOW, and VH1’s sketch show RANDOM PLAY. Ali then went on to create the MTV series TOWN MAUL and write for a season of MTV2’s updated version of CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH.
Ali’s on air personality was launched at Miami University where she co-hosted the WMSR radio show JUNK ROCK which led to an on air gig as a veejay for the cable show PROGRESSIVE VISIONS. Her days as an alternative music veejay, coupled with her days at the corporate rock conglomerate MTV, led her to spoof the genre in the short film MEDIA WHORE, featuring Coolio, John Doe and Taye Diggs. MEDIA WHORE was selected to screen at festivals in Toronto, Palm Springs, Atlanta, Victoria, Maryland, New York’s Gen Art series and earned Ali a Best Actress nomination at the Method Festival in the spring of 2002. MEDIA WHORE was optioned by Saturday Night Live producers as a television pilot for Broadway Video.
Ali was on air as ‘Allegedly Alice’ on the Comedy World radio show, THE MANVERSATION, hosted by talk show host, Greg Behrendt. She also was the voice (and brains) behind INDIE 103.1 FM’s GIG GUIDE WITH ALI MACLEAN.
Currently Ali can be heard but not seen on the VH-1 animated sketch show, ILL-USTRATED and Current TV’s SUPERNEWS.
She also is a DJ on LITTLE RADIO where she hosts her own show UNDER THE INFLUENCE WITH ALI MACLEAN. Her recent guests have included such music legends as Debbie Harry of BLONDIE, and John Doe of X. She writes for several music outlets and her wildly popular Crazewire column, SETS IN THE CITY is being adapted into a novel for Grove Atlantic.
Ali landed her own rock show called DISTORTION, on MUSIC PLUS TV. That led to her hosting on Vlaze TV, including the shows ROCK REMEDY, ELECTROMIXER, MUSIC VIDEO SPOTLIGHT and SONGWRITER'S STAGE.
Her blog on her travels to music festivals and shows, ALI ON THE AIR,
has been syndicated by Urb Magazine.
