Good questions

Before you book

How far in advance should I book?

Yes. Abby tailors her material to the room, from a corporate lunch to a bachelorette at midnight. Tell her who's in the audience and she'll set the dial.

What does an Abby performance look like?

Lip sync numbers first and foremost, plus comedy and crowd work. Abby can also sing live on occasion, and she hosts a mean karaoke night. Tell her what you have in mind.
