The Crescent Comedy presents
Sophie Duker: Hot Beef Injection
Wednesday 5th May
Doors 7pm, Show 7.30pm

*This is a seated show with all seating unreserved*
 
Taskmaster Champion, Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer Nominee and retired sugar daughter Sophie Duker is back with a brand-new 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?

Reviews from Edinburgh Fringe 2026:
 
“on sparkling form… a smart, purposeful and very funny hour… the audience is entirely under her spell… Duker’s presence is all good-time joy and delight, and this is a show so neatly crafted and intelligent”
★★★★ The Guardian

“On the best form of her career, Duker owns the stage with charm and assurance”
★★★★ Ashley Davies, The Scotsman

“a comedic powerhouse”
★★★★ The Skinny

“Duker is really very good at this. Her comedy is pointed, but it’s also generous and bawdy… Duker is on top of her game.”
★★★★ The Herald

“a fresh and charming voice…  a punchy hit… quick-wit… mid the hilarity, Duker offers us some gems of wisdom; we’re lucky to have them, and the laughs”
★★★★ Fest

“fierce and fun hour”
★★★★ The List

“Playfully toying with the male ego… Duker is wittily flip”
★★★★ Chortle
