Abi Roberts

Anglichanka (English woman in Russian) is an exhilarating new comedy show about Abi living in the former Soviet Union in the 90s and her return after 18 years as the first UK comic to perform comedy in English and Russian.

Including diary extracts, the consequences of drinking hardcore vodka, studying opera and using outdoor loos in -20 temperatures, we see how Russia has changed and what we need to know about Putin and the country Churchill described as ‘a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma’. ‘True comedy genius’ GQ.
