Abby awoke in hospital after a late miscarriage and, high on anaesthesia, decided to become a comedian. In this silly, goofy, heartfelt show Abby presents her best 17 ideas for her highly anticipated debut hour, including potential hits like Old Man Learns Parkour and a very long impression of the number nine. Funny Women finalist and co-host of Help Hole podcast alongside Sofie Hagen. 'Reminiscent of Hannah Gadsby or Tig Notaro... Tackles what could be a thorny, complex subject with grace, underplayed charm and some great jokes' (Chortle.co.uk).
