Abi Clarke

In the past, i.e. in the beginning of 2020, comedians may have imagined spending several years traveling around the UK as stand-up comedians, prior to being invited onto a television panel show, and later selling out an arena tour. But it is not that simple in the present. Comedy is one art form which has managed to remain performed front of a live audience, however, we'll probably not see arena tours any time soon. One Bristol comedian has managed to attract a huge worldwide audience during lockdowns through social media. Being famous on the internet is not something that Abi Clarke had set out to attain. Abi Clarke, 24, who lives in Henbury , England with her parents made her first online videos to "build a community of similar people who would enjoy my stand-up comic act." "I performed a lot in Devon to men who were in their 50s and weren't so keen on my Love Island Sims and Twilight references, so I decided to go online to find others who were young and would love my stand-up routine." Abi, who lives in Hen bury with her parents, continues to upload her videos to Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok. She finds inspiration from a variety of sources, including conversations with strangers, the chatroom, and also writing down her thoughts on her smartphone.
