Daddy's Girls: Leigh Douglas and Sophie Garrad Edinburgh Preview

Sophie (So You Think You’re Funny 2023 – Finalist Funny Women 2023 – Semi-Finalist) and Leigh (BBC New Comedy Regional Showcase & Live at the Queer Comedy Club for FrootTV) are Daddy”s Girls on the loose. With Sophie’s Dad in and out of prison and Leigh’s dead dad only contactable via the help of a clairvoyant, these girls are doing it for themselves and taking a split-bill to the fringe, because “What, like it’s hard?” They’re ready to order the Business Woman Special and spice up your life in men’s shirts and short skirts and be your fairy godmothers of comedy as they enter their drunk auntie eras and make you say, “Man! I feel like a Woman!” Out of the sea of fringe shows, they wanna be part of your world. Everyone’s invited because it does not say RSVP on the statue of liberty. Praise for Sophie Garrad:”She’s definitely got a cracking Edinburgh in her” Steve Bennet, Chortle”Huge potential for comedy” Steve Bennet, Chortle”One to watch” – Funny Women Praise for Leigh Douglas: “leaves you eager to see what Leigh Douglas will do next.” – Andrew Lynch, Sunday Business Post Ireland’

Leigh Douglas is a queer Irish stand-up who likes making jokes about the English, Disney princesses and lesbians (with a light zesting of Catholic guilt). She appeared in Live at the Queer Comedy Club for FrootTV in the UK and OutTV internationally and was recently selected for the BBC New Comedy Regional Showcase. Her comedy short, You’re Alright Hun, won Best Micro Short at the Women’s Comedy Film Festival: Atlanta and Best Short Short at the London Independent Film Festival. Sophie Garrad is a posh, stuck up and delusional comedian who is milking her chaotic childhood to make people laugh - oh and to try and get famous. Sophie turned out surprisingly snobby despite her dad being a proper cockney who's been in and out of prison... Oh and he is also partial to a secret family.
