Abi Clarke
In the olden
days, i.e. early 2020, comedians might have expected to spend years gigging up
and down the UK in stand-up comedy, before being invited to join a television
panel show, and later selling the arena tour. It's not so easy at the moment.
One art form that can be performed live in the future is comedy, however
there's no chance of arena tour. But one Bristol comedian has gained a large
following through social media lockdown. Abi Clarke wasn't aiming to become an
internet celebrity. Abi, 24 is from Henbury, and began creating videos online
"to create a network of like-minded people who would be interested in my
standup comedy." "I was performing regularly in Devon for men in
their 50s that were not so enthusiastic about my Love Island Sims and Twilight
references so it was time to get online and find other young women who would
enjoy my stand-up comedy." Abi, who lives in Henbury, with her parents has
continued to upload her videos to Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok. She draws
inspiration from many sources, including conversations with strangers, the chat
room, and writing down all her thoughts on her smartphone.
