Sophie Duker

Sophie Duker is an ‘astonishingly pretty’ [citation needed] comedian, writer and eldest daughter. Since being nominated for Best Newcomer in 2019, each of her three solo shows have enjoyed total sellout runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (with multiple extra shows added). These shows have had similarly successful runs (and repeat runs) at London’s Soho Theatre. In 2025, Sophie toured her hour 'BUT DADDY, I LOVE HER' across three continents. She is due to return to the New York Comedy Festival in November with two dates of a brand new show. After a competitive auction, her debut novel, 'DONG', was acquired by Borough Press (HarperCollins) and is due to be published in 2027.

Sophie has won various accolades over the course of her career, including Entertainer of the Year (Pink News), Best Comedy Writer (Funny Women) and nearly-Champion-of-Champions (Taskmaster). She was one of eight comedians selected for the Just For Laughs’ International New Faces line up in Montreal. Sophie appeared as “ELLEN” in the 2025 British action-comedy film Deep Cover and is excited to depict more terrible women onscreen.

A prolific improviser (since her first year at Oxford University), she now regularly performs with her former heroes The Comedy Store Players, and has guest improvised with iconic teams such as Shoot From The Hip (UK) and Grandma’s Ashes (US).

Sophie created and hosts the live comedy format Wacky Racists, as well as the official BBC companion podcasts to hit TV series, 'I May Destroy You' and 'Everything I Know About Love'. She was a regular panellist across three series of 'Frankie Boyle’s New World Order (BBC2). She has appeared on 'Live at The Apollo' (BBC2), 'Mock the Week' (BBC2), '8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown'(Channel 4) and 'Hypothetical' (Dave). 

Kemah Bob

Kemah Bob (she/they) is a comedian, writer and producer whose stand out comedic voice has been recognized across the globe. Originally hailing from Houston, Texas her move to London has allowed her to hone her craft and firmly establish herself on the comedy circuit.

Her debut solo show 'Miss Fortunate', a storytelling piece about resilience, recovery and self-acceptance, was chosen by the Guardian as one of the Top 10 Comedy Shows Of 2024. It’s now on tour after a sold-out run at Soho Theatre in London, and a sold-out Edinburgh fringe run which saw incredible critical reception.

They have supported Hannah Gadsby, Nish Kumar, Rami Youssef, Desiree Burch and Jessica Fostekew on tour. Kemah also created, curates and hosts 'The FOC IT UP Comedy Club', showcasing women and gender non-conforming comedians of colour, both as a podcast and as a regular live show at London’s Soho Theatre.

Kemah is a frequent face on TV screens on shows such as 'QI' (BBC) 'Meet The Richardsons' (Dave), 'Pointless Celebrities' (BBC), 'CelebAbility' (ITVX), 'Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club' (ITV), and more.
