2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Abigail Rolling: Shit Lawyer
Abby has been chained to a radiator in the magistrates' court for almost 30 years. With misanthropic mirth she pulls back the curtain on a criminal justice system in terminal decline. Dark. Funny. Underfunded. And that's just her. The stories are true, the crisis real. 'She's ace' (Micky P Kerr, Really Funny Comedy). 'Some of the cleverest writing I've heard, beautifully balanced... truly masterful' (RockCentral Promotions). 'She'd better make it in comedy 'cos she's a shit lawyer' (Picture House Comedy). 'The funniest solicitor I ever met' (Chris Lang, screenwriter).
