Since the overturning of Roe vs Wade in the States, Ohio-born comedian Abigoliah Schamaun has been mad as hell and wants to fight back.
Now living in London – and currently appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Abigoliah said: “As an American living abroad, sometimes I feel helpless when I see injustices back home. Like I'm too far away to help. That's why I have chosen to do this fundraiser; it's a way for me to help, even though I'm on another continent”.
Abigoliah has partnered with the NNAF, the National Network Of Abortion Funds, to help raise funds by hosting an evening of stand-up comedy with some of her funniest peers. It's at The Comedy Store, London, on Tuesday September 20th at 8pm. Guests include Tiff Stevenson (Mock the Week), Sikisa (Jonathan Ross' Comedy Club), Sooz Kempner (The Now Show), Kemah Bob (Richard Osmond's House of Games) and Kerry Godliman (Afterlife). Remember, just by laughing, you’re helping!
