Comedy with Bite

Abigail has always been a smart mouth.


She once mocked her friends for choosing German in high school; now she lives in Germany, where she is happily eating her words with a side of sauerkraut.


Trading Florida’s swamps for Frankfurt’s skyscrapers, she revels in the irony of her own punchlines. She came for the schnitzel, stayed for the human rights.

Abigail’s audience…

  • Read books, or at least pretend to read books
  • Are too old for DJs but too young to stay at home
  • Would laugh at a funeral but still maintain hope for humanity
  • Are looking for a unique date night
  • Would prefer to see a show than be the show
  • Like a good dick joke, but only if it’s elevated. Wink.

American comedian Abigail Paul accidentally self-deported to Germany 24 years ago and turned her BBC award nominated bad childhood into a comedy career. Now she’s taking on global dysfunction with sharp, honest storytelling—because 10,000 kilometres distance from America gives you clarity, and Florida gives you material. Now a professional smart mouth, she’s performed her cerebral and cathartic comedy in 44 cities across 20 countries.

I’d liken her to that friend who will always tell you exactly what she is thinking, making you both laugh and gasp.

“She is deeply likeable. ★★★★”
