Abi Clarke

In the olden days, i.e. the early 2020s. In the past comedians would have had the expectation to play across the UK for many years before being invited to a TV panel and then selling an arena tour. But, right now, it's not so easy. Comedy is a form of art that can to continue to be performed in front of an audience live. But, we're not going to have arena tours any time very soon. One Bristol comedian has managed to attract an enormous global audience during lockdown through social media. Being famous on the internet is not something that Abi Clarke was hoping to achieve. The 24-year old, who lives in Hen bury, with her parents, first started making online videos "to gain a following that was like-minded and would appreciate my stand-up comedy. "I had been performing frequently in Devon to men in their 50s that weren't as hot on my Love Island Sims and Twilight references, so it was the right time to go online to find other young women who love my stand-up routine." Abi, who lives in Henbury, with her parents has continued to upload her video content to Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok. Her inspiration comes from many sources, such as conversations with strangers, chat room, and writes down everything she thinks on her phone.
