Kimball Allen is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on February 22, 1982 in Blackfoot, United States. Kimball Allen (born February 22, 1982) is an American writer, journalist, playwright, and actor. He is the author of two autobiographical one-man plays: Secrets of a Gay Mormon Felon (2012) and Be Happy Be Mormon (2014). The latter premiered at Theatre Row in Manhattan on September 24 and 27, 2014, as part of the United Solo Theatre Festival. From 2015–2017 he hosted the recurring Triple Threat w/ Kimball Allen, a 90-minute variety talk show at The Triple Door in Seattle.
At the age of 13, he was raped by an older man who befriended him at a mall. To cope with this trauma, which he could not tell anyone about, he surreptitiously turned to alcohol, and eventually drugs. He began living a double life – a devout Mormon on the surface, and underneath a teen struggling with his sexual orientation, the rape trauma, and his growing addictions.
In August 2014 Allen, who is an ex-Mormon, presented excerpts from and commentary on Be Happy Be Mormon, plus a question and answer session, at the 2014 Sunstone Symposium, an annual gathering of Mormons, scholars, and others interested in the diversity and richness of Mormon thought and experience.
Allen’s second one-man play, the one-hour Be Happy Be Mormon, premiered at Theatre Row in Manhattan on September 24, 2014, as part of the United Solo Theatre Festival, and due to the sold-out premiere it had a second performance on September 27. It previewed on September 4 and 5, 2014 in Seattle. It is described as “A voyeuristic look into the childhood of a Bambi-loving vegetarian, ballet slipper-wearing, Diet Coke-drinking gay Mormon Boy Scout.” The play relates his upbringing “as a fabulous black sheep” in a Mormon family he doesn’t relate to, through “colorful narration, private home movies, songs, dance and the occasional acrobatics”. He has stated that the inspiration for the show came when he read a lengthy letter his mother wrote before he was born, anticipating his birth and also his life and hoped-for achievements in the Mormon faith – achievements which he never fulfilled because of his true nature.
In 2013, he taught workshops on “Discover Your Proud Voice Through Performance” at the annual conference of True Colors, a large non-profit conference which mentors LGBT youth. He also appears in the “No More Fear” video, a part of the “AIDS Is Going to Lose” PSA project.

In adulthood, his drug addictions spiraled further into cocaine, acid, and E, and eventually into a shopping addiction which led him to crave the high of larger and larger purchases. Given responsibility for a corporate credit card, he accidentally used it for a small expense of his own in 2010, and then started addictively embezzling the company’s funds for luxuries via the card. The missing funds, totalling around $70,000, were noticed in 2011, and Allen landed in jail awaiting trial. He went through detox in the jail cell, and out of desperation began journal writing to make sense of how he ended up in that situation.
The completed play, Secrets of a Gay Mormon Felon, premiered in Kansas City in the summer of 2012. It has also run in Honolulu and San Diego.
He has also done additional performing. In 2014 in Seattle he performed at Mortified Live, and at A Guide To Visitors—The Best of Stories On Stage. In November 2015 he performed a monologue in “Arctic Entries” for Alaska Public Media in Anchorage, where he had previously resided, and in March 2018 he performed in Phoenix, Arizona at a revue called Arizona Storytellers: Stylish Stories.
