The comedian Sophie Duker was born in London in 1990. She studied French and English at Oxford, where she got into improv, and in 2018 performed her first standup show, Diet Woke. Appearances followed on TV comedy stalwarts such as 8 Out of 10 Cats, and in 2022 she won the 13th series of Taskmaster. Duker’s new show, But Daddy I Love Her – about father/daughter therapy and sugar daddies – will run at the Pleasance Courtyard Cabaret Bar in Edinburgh from 31 July to 25 August, and then tours. Her Sugar Daddy scheme will provide 250 £5 tickets via the Pleasance website to people of colour and anyone unwaged or on a low income, available with the code SUGARDADDY.
