Sophie Buddle is a Canadian stand-up comedian,[2] originally from Ottawa.[3] She is most noted for her 2019 comedy album A Lil Bit of Buddle, which won the Juno Award for Comedy Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2020.[4] She was the first woman ever to win the award as a solo stand-up comedian, although it was previously won in 1979 by the mixed-gender sketch comedy troupe Royal Canadian Air Farce.
Currently a television writer for the sketch comedy series This Hour Has 22 Minutes,[5] she was a semi-finalist in the 2018 edition of SiriusXM Canada's "Canada's Top Comic" competition.[6]
In July 2023, Little Mountain Gallery, a comedy club in Vancouver, cancelled Buddle's performance after a fellow comic complained about an "offensive" joke she made in 2022 referencing residential schools.[7]
She is in a relationship with comedian Mayce Galoni, with whom she cohosts the podcast Obsessed.[5]
