Sophie Duker: Hot Beef Injection

The Crescent Comedy presentsSophie Duker: Hot Beef InjectionWednesday 5th MayDoors 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
