Sophie Duker is an English stand-up comedian and writer whose career quickly took off after she began performing while at university. By 2015, she was shortlisted for the prestigious Funny Woman Award. Following her early success, she honed her skills by hosting comedy nights and touring the stand-up circuit. She also gained valuable experience working behind the scenes as a researcher on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and an assistant producer on Frankie Boyle's New World Order.
Her live work has earned her widespread acclaim, beginning with her first stand-up show, Diet Woke, which premiered in 2018. Her subsequent show, Venus, was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe and led to a sold-out run at Soho Theatre. In 2022, she won the thirteenth series of the popular panel show Taskmaster and became a champion on Celebrity Mastermind. She continues to perform shows at festivals across the UK, including a residency for her comedy night "Wacky Racists" in London's King's Cross.
Duker is a familiar face on television, appearing as a panelist on shows like Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, and Roast Battle. She has also appeared on Jonathan Ross' Comedy Club, Richard Osman’s House of Games, and The Dog Ate My Homework. As a writer, she has contributed to the Huffington Post and has written for shows such as Horrible Histories and Spitting Image. Her unique and insightful comedy is a testament to the kind of innovative and boundary-pushing entertainment audiences in London seek out.
