Abi Roberts is a stand-up comedian, impressionist and singer.

Abi started doing solo stand-up comedy in 2007, after appearances in productions such as the topical sketch show, NewsRevue, comedy trio About as Funny As It Gets and a radio show Nice Mischief (with James Dreyfus).  Abi was also in double act, Roberts & Roper (with Wilfredo Erecto! creator and long-time friend, Matt Roper).

Early in 2008 she filmed the BBC pilot, Sounds Like a Laugh, with Rhys Darby, who stars as band manager Murray Hewitt in Flight of the Conchords (HBO).

Since then, she's performed musical and straight stand up comedy across the US and UK, including venues such as the Laugh Factory, in Hollywood, the Temple Bar, in Santa Monica and Ha! Comedy Club NYC. UK clubs Abi regularly performs at include: The Gag Factory chain; Outside The Box Comedy; Canal Cafe Theatre, Hen and Chickens Theatre; Resist The Glamour; Downstairs At the Kings Head; Monkey Business Comedy Clubs; the Comedy Store; Hunters Comedy Club, Bury and Laughing Cows, Manchester.  She has also compered for Funny Women at the Leicester Square Theatre and at Boom-Tish, in London's Crouch End.

Abi is quite literally, a one-off and a comedy whirlwind. She ranges from unique musical impersonations (Lady GaGa, Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Kathryn Jenkins, Celine Dion, Cher, Duffy,  Billie Holiday, Susan Boyle, Tina Turner, Adele, Bonnie Tyler) and spot-on impressions (Mrs Thatch in her elderly years, Marge Simpson, Sandi Toksvig, Louis Walsh, Bette Midler, Gary Barlow, Lady GaGa, Janet Street Porter, Sarah Millican, Alex Jones (One Show), Hilary De Vey and others).  

Now headlining at clubs across the UK as a stand-up, Abi is equally at home compering, singing or performing live with a band and has taken her solo shows to the Edinburgh Festival.  

As a singer, Abi has released two best-selling albums with long-time musical collaborator, Duncan Walsh Atkins (Showstopper!, Flanders and Swann and Jersey Boys) and has appeared in TV 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.
