Show Description

Abbey is on a quest to become the ultimate businessman. She just has to change a few things about herself, but how hard can it be? Now, on the brink of achieving everything she’s dreamed of, the facade she’s spent a decade constructing starts to fracture. Instead of enjoying the rewards of her hard work, Abbey is forced to confront her deepest fears and the insecurities she has tried to bury beneath her business suit. With her trademark wry humor, Abbey explores what happens when we lose ourselves to the whims of a society fueled by individualism, competition, and a pervasive feeling of never-enough-ness.

Her first solo show Abbey’s Box premiered at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, earning multiple 4- and 5-star reviews from publications such as The Scotsman and Broadway World.
