Sophie Duker

Sophie Duker (born January 1990) is a British stand-up comedian and writer. She was born in London to first-generation immigrants from West Africa; her mother is from Cameroon and her father is from Ghana. She attended North London Collegiate School until 2008 before studying French and English at Wadham College, Oxford, where she joined the Oxford Imps in her first year.

An alumna of the Pleasance Comedy Reserve, Duker was shortlisted for the Funny Women award in 2015. She founded and hosted the "Manic Pixie Dream Girls" show as part of Edinburgh's Free Festival in 2016 and 2017. She has written for the Huffington Post and was an assistant producer for Frankie Boyle's New World Order and a researcher for 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. In 2018, she set up the comedy night "Wacky Racists", and her first stand-up show, "Diet Woke", premiered in 2018.

In September 2020, during one of Duker's appearances on Frankie Boyle's New World Order, a clip of her making a joke was widely spread online, leading to complaints to the BBC, which the broadcaster later dismissed. In 2022, she won the thirteenth season of the comedy panel game show Taskmaster, and the quiz show Celebrity Mastermind. She returned to the Edinburgh Festival line-up in 2022 with a show titled "Hag".
