Sophia Cadogan began performing stand-up just last year and within 12 months she has shared the bill with Deirdre O’Kane and Justine Stafford at Funny Women on Whelan’s main stage, opened for Stephen Mullan (Ouch and Yeah, Yeah, Yeah), and performed as part of Dalkey comedy Festival.

She was the winner of “Show Me The Funny’ in 2024 and was a finalist in Bray Comedy Festival’s ‘Best New Act’ competition, as well as performing regularly in all of Dublin’s Comedy clubs.

Most recently she performed a WIP of her debut solo show ‘Princess Melancholy’, as part of Scene + Heard Festival of New Work 2024. Sophia plans to develop this into a full hour which she can bring to Edinburgh Fringe and Dublin Fringe and beyond.
