Abi Clarke

In the past i.e. in the early 2020s comedians might have had the opportunity to perform for years in the UK before being invited on an audience on TV and selling out arena tours. It's not straightforward at the moment. Comedy is an art form that has been art that can remain performed in front of an audience of live. However, we won't have arena shows anytime coming. One Bristol comedian, however, has found an international audience during lockdowns through social media. Finding internet fame is not something Abi Clarke wanted to achieve. Abi, 24 lives in Henbury. She began making videos online "to establish a community of people who enjoy my standup comedy." "I was doing a lot of gigs throughout the region of Devon to guys older than 50 who were not so keen on my Love Island, Sims and Twilight references. I then went online with the intention to meet other young women who could relate to me." Abi has since performed at Lakota Gardens, as locks have eased but she still posts her videos on Instagram, Twitter and Tik Tok (where she's recently surpassed 500,000 followers), finding inspiration from sources such as her job at a cafe, a conversation with a stranger, or the girls' group chat. She also writes all of her ideas down on her smartphone.
