Sophie Santos is an award-winning Southern-Filipino-Spanish comedy writer, actor, and musical comedian. Sophie is the author of the best-selling comedic memoir THE ONE YOU WANT TO MARRY (AND OTHER IDENTITIES I’VE HAD), which Shondaland praised as “honest and hilariously awkward.” The book won the 2022 Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Memoir and was nominated for the 2023 Queerty Award (out of 1.8 million votes). She served as head writer for the digital series LIL INTERNS, starring Kenan Thompson (SNL). Sophie’s debut one-person musical SOPHIE SANTOS IS CODEPENDENT sold out its Edinburgh Fringe Festival run, earning four-star reviews from BROADWAY WORLD and FRINGE BISCUIT. Their comedy pilot HAIL MARY was featured on the 2024 Out Loud List and was in development with Paul Scheer (THE LEAGUE). Sophie has been featured on WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE WITH ANDY COHEN and written for ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, THEM., BUSTLE, NEW YORK MAGAZINE, and more. Sophie can also be heard in the Audible Original HIT JOB alongside Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer, and as Emily in HOT WHITE HEIST, directed by Alan Cumming.

As a standup, Sophie has performed at the New York Comedy Festival, San Francisco Sketch Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and opened for Chris Fleming. Sophie’s debut musical comedy album SPACE drops next year. Sophie co-hosted the sports comedy podcast HAMMERED HEROES (AND VILLAINS), covering athletes who achieved incredible feats—while intoxicated. Sophie studied improv and sketch comedy at the Upright Citizen Brigade Theater in New York City.
