Abi Roberts

Abi Roberts is a stand-up comedian and musical impressionist.

Abi became a full-time professional stand-up comedian on the UK circuit in 2011, after a number of years as a musical cabaret performer.  She has been dubbed by critics as "Robin Williams with tits", "a master impersonator" and as "a young, British Bette Midler". UK Comedy website Chortle described her as "a consummate entertainer".  

Abi is quite literally, a one-off and a comedy whirlwind. She ranges from physical comedy, great stories and audience banter to unique musical impersonations and spot-on impressions, including Celine Dion, Susan Boyle and Sandi Toksvig.

She is also resident compere at Jimmy's Farm Comedy in Suffolk. 

Abi was a semi-finalist in the 2009 Funny Women competition, a Finalist in the Comedy Store's Costa Light competition in 2011 and she is a previous winner of the Bristol Old Vic's prestigiousPeter Ackermann Comedy Award.
