Whether you're hitched, ditched or feeling the itch, brace yourself for an hour of matrimonial hilarity.
Charles has done it twice. Kate's just done it with his son. Abi Roberts is a seasoned pro. Few things in life throw up as much drama, chaos, emotion and hilarity as a wedding, and the gloriously talented Abi Roberts is all set to laugh, since and dance you through the emotional rollercoaster of tying the knot.
In a show that retraces Abi's three journeys up and down the aisle, classic songs and hot new material are beautifully woven together to create a feel good hit of the Fringe that everyone can enjoy.
With a cabaret and musical theatre career that stretches back over many successful years, Abi started performing at venues such as Pizza On the Park, the Jazz Café and the Shaw Theatre, after training as an actress and classical opera singer at the Bristol Old Vic and Moscow Conservatoire. She has released two best-selling albums and has appeared in numerous TV and drama shows and a film, Beached, playing the leading role as a girl from Kent who travels to Las Vegas hoping to meet her 'real mother', Bette Midler.
Every year the Fringe throws up a new star, and Abi Roberts is set to carve her niche as the festival's hottest new musical comedy diva.

An excellent hour of entertainment - stand up, impressions, songs, all joyfully rendered by her superb voice. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed this romp through married life, divorce, cheese and Maggie Thatcher.
Before I went, Id looked at one of the reviews - 3 and 4 stars dont do it justice, and I would give it 5 stars for the entertainment value alone!
