Now, in her uniquely goofy and heartfelt hour, Abby shares her 17 best ideas for her first show. From ‘Old Man Learns Parkour’ to an absurdly long impression of the number nine, Abby’s debut is packed with playful, surprising, and hilarious moments.
A Funny Women finalist and co-host of the Help Hole podcast with Sofie Hagen, Abby’s comedy is bold, original, and filled with unexpected twists. Don’t miss Abby’s rise to stardom in this unforgettable, deeply personal, and wildly funny performance.
