More details

After packing out the Voodoo Rooms last year with her work-in-progress show, Twerk In Progess, Abi returns to Edinburgh with the finished show, Downtown Abi.

It's a show all about being a "downtown" girl, singing rock and roll and kicking the Lady Dowager and her ilk where it hurts; a show about using your skills to deal with uppity people on the Tube and a show about Welsh debauchery, the perils of singing karaoke in Moscow and an unfortunate incident with Jeremy Clarkson in Harrods.

So, go downtown with Abi and her Labrador Al Qaeda and find out what happens when your parents want you to be an opera singer and you end up tap-dancing in a pig costume, promoting a butchers shop. See what happens when you mix a Chelsea girl with rock n' roll!

Expect jokes, music and impressions that GQ described as "Brilliantly funny... true comedy genius" and which New Statesman described as "Raw originality that is unstoppable".
