Abi Clarke

In the past, i.e. in the beginning of 2020, comedians may have imagined spending years gigging up and down the UK in stand-up comedy, before being invited onto a television panel show and then selling the arena tour. It's not easy right now. One art form that can be performed live in the future is comedy, however there won't soon be any arena tour. One Bristol comedian, however, has found a huge worldwide audience during lockdown via social media. Abi Clarke never set up to become an online superstar. Abi, who is 24, lives in Henbury and began posting videos online "to build a network of like-minded people who could enjoy my standup comedy." "I performed a lot in Devon for men older than 50 who were not as enthusiastic about my Love Island Sims and Twilight references, so it was the right time to search online for others who were young and would love my stand-up routine." Abi, who lives in Hen bury with her parents continues to upload her video content to Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok. She gets inspiration from many sources, including conversations with strangers, the chatroom, and also writing down everything she thinks on her smartphone.
