Big ideas. Big opinions. Even bigger eyebrows.

Ali Weiss is an actress, on-air presenter, public speaker and writer. Born and raised in downtown New York City, she’s known for sharp, unapologetic social commentary and a willingness to dive head first into so-called ‘forbidden’ topics.

Ali has been hired by companies like Vice, Playboy, A&E, Soho House, Standard Hotels & Verizon Wireless to facilitate provocative yet insightful conversations about everything from cryptocurrency to the cannabis industry, wellness and pop culture. Skilled in establishing a fast mutual trust required to ask her subjects pointed - even controversial - questions, she’s interviewed public figures and thought leaders in politics, music, television, technology, and adult entertainment.

Ali continues to humanize unconventional subject matter through her confessional podcast Tales of Taboo. She dissolves the traditional boundaries between host and audience by creating conversations around their unique experiences, shared without being named or seen. Under the cloak of anonymity, Ali’s subjects are given permission to be radically (sometimes shockingly!) honest and challenge cultural norms of stigma and shame.

Her search for convention-defying stories has also taken her into subcultures across America: right-wing political rallies, forest raves, Bike Weeks, and fish-throwing parties on the Flora-Bama border, to name a few. Ali’s social media videos have garnered over 50 million views.

Ali holds a BA in Theatre, with a minor in Broadcast Journalism.
