Taskmaster Champion, Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer Nominee and retired sugar daughter Sophie Duker is back with a brand-new 2026-2027 stand-up tour, ‘Hot Beef Injection’.
In her latest hour, Sophie dares to get both sexy and political, reflecting on hypermasculinity, heavy-handed handymen and that old-chestnut Would You Rather: ‘Man or Bear?’.
Hot Beef Injection reckons with the primal fear driving Duker’s distrust of heterosexual he/hims, and out of a challenging comedy club encounter a new question emerges: what would she say if she spoke to men, instead of shutting them out?
