About Abigail Rolling
Abigail Rolling is a criminal defence lawyer with thirty years of practice who returns to the Fringe with Shit Lawyer, a dark, funny and underfunded show — much like the criminal justice system she knows intimately. The show sees her offering unsolicited advice to the Government in its search for bold and innovative approaches to speeding up justice and keeping streets safe. Her outrageous and unorthodox suggestions aim to address the crisis in our courts, delivered with sharp political stand-up at the Coorie venue.
Why see this show?
Sharp, dark and genuinely informed — thirty years of criminal defence law give this show a bite that most political comedy can only aim for. Expect provocative ideas, audience participation and a frank look at a justice system under pressure.
