Abi Clarke

In the past i.e. in the beginning of 2020, comedians may have expected to spend the next few years touring across the UK as stand-ups before being invited onto a television panel show and selling tickets to an arena tour. It's not so easy. Comedy is one form of art that has been able to continue to be performed in front of an audience of live. However, we won't have arena tours any time in the near future. But, one Bristol comedian has a huge following by utilizing the social media lockdown. Abi Clarke never set out to become a global internet star. The 24-year-old, who lives in Hen bury, with her parents, first started making online videos "to build a following of people who be interested in my stand-up comic. "I performed a variety of shows in the depths of Devon to guys in their 50s who weren't quite so hot on my Love Island, Sims and Twilight references. I then went online with the intention of finding other young women who really related to me." Abi has since performed at Lakota Gardens as restrictions on lockdowns have eased however she is still posting her videos on Instagram, Twitter and Tik Tok (where she recently reached 500k followers) Finding ideas from sources as diverse as her job at a cafe, a conversation with a stranger, or the girls' group chat. She also writes everything down on her smartphone.
