- Abi Roberts is a Welsh stand-up comedian. Born in Cardiff, she studied Russian and Italian at Swansea University, attended Bristol Old Vic Theatre School (and later the Moscow Conservatoire). She has appeared in a series of comedy sketch shows on the London stage and at the Edinburgh Festival, including the satirical comedy , Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues, and Jonathan Harvey's stage show, Taking Charlie. Roberts has been a regular on the stand-up comedy circuit's major clubs since 2011 and has performed across the UK and the US. She has appeared as a guest comedian on several radio stations, and appeared in the films One Under and The Honeymoon for Square Cat Films and Bucketless for Sky Arts. In February 2016, she became the first UK comic to perform in Russia, and in Russian. She has made several appearances on GB News, as well as Good Morning Britain. In June 2021 Roberts claimed that her agent dropped her for being a trans-exclusionary radical feminist. Roberts was exposed for lying in July 2021 on the first episode of the internet talk show series Widdicombe, Webb & Woberts, where she stated she was terminated from her employment for defending a black colleague who was receiving racist abuse. The subsequent fallout from this resulted in the show being cancelled later that year after only 9 episodes. Throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic, Roberts has repeatedly posted and retweeted anti-vax views on her official Twitter page. In November 2022, Roberts was heard on her Telegram channel making violent remarks towards journalist Isabelle Oakeshot, sparking rumours that she is currently under police investigation. (en)
