Bio

With perfect comedic timing, Emmi Abel-Rutter made her comedy debut in February 2020, in her hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Her comedy career kicked off in a non-traditional way. She combined her sales job, with her comedy aspirations. In a “guerilla warfare” pop-up style, she organized & performed numerous roasts for her colleagues during their company events, in any space she could find, such as hotel lobbies at conferences in New York, Texas, and Oklahoma, and retreats in South Carolina and Tennessee.

In June 2023, Emmi became an “unhoused” solo backpacker: pet-sitting around the world and performing along the way. She has no plans to settle in one city any time soon. In addition to seeing her pop up throughout the United States, she’s performed in England (London, Manchester, Bristol), Australia (Melbourne, Cairns, Geelong, Newcastle), Scotland, Germany, Spain, Aruba, & Mexico.

In 2024, she produced and headlined a sold out show in Madrid, Spain.

In 2025, Emmi plans to road trip the U.S for 6 months, performing in venues around the country (and hitting a travel milestone - joining the 50 State Club - 6 states left 🥳)
