Sophie Santos
Award-Winning Comedian, Writer & Actor; Author of The Best-Selling Memoir "The One You Want to Marry (And Other Identities I've Had)"
Sophie Santos is an award-winning Southern-Spanish-Filipino comedian, writer, and author of the best-selling comedic memoir "The One You Want to Marry (And Other Identities I’ve Had)," whom Shondaland called "honest & hilariously awkward." Santos' book debuted at number one to critical acclaim, was a best-seller, and won the 2022 Lambda Literary Award for “Best Lesbian Memoir.” It was nominated for a Queerty Award out of 1.8 million votes.
Santos was the head writer for "Lil’ Interns," a workplace docu-series starring SNL’s Kenan Thompson. You can hear them in the Audible Original “Hit Job” alongside Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer and as Emily in “Hot White Heist” directed by Alan Cumming.
Santos' solo show Sophie Santos is Codependent debuted and sold out at the 2023 Edinburgh Festival. They have appeared on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" and have been featured in Entertainment Weekly, them., Bustle, New York Mag, and more.
They are on Time Out's "Queer Comics to Watch," attitude's "10 LGBTQ+ Acts to Watch," and The Herald's "Funniest Act to See." Their pilot, HAIL MARY, was a 2024 Out Loud List Honoree.
As a comedian, they write musical comedy where they sings about their mental health (through autotune) and being queer. As someone who's struggled with mental health and OCD, they love talking about overcoming those battles, as well as what it's like to fit in and knowing when it's best not to.
