One of those titles that's more smart than relevant, but that's what you get when you have to create the name of your show before you've even thought of the jokes. Roberts is certainly energetic and launches herself physically into her act. She's engaging and keeps her crowd entertained, even involved on occasions. And she's not got a bad singing voice either.
Yet it's all feels just a bit too disjointed and if there's any theme it's in letting us know the kind of person her stage character is. Perhaps too much so, because by the time she comes to listing three things she's done she wouldn't want her mother to know, we already know too much for there to be any sense of shock or surprise.
If you go to this show for a good laugh you probably won't come away disappointed, but with that nagging feeling there was probably a better way to have spent your time.
Abi Roberts is on in The Voodoo Rooms at 16.15 until the 30th.
