Too old to be young, but too young to be old…
COMEDIAN, PODCASTER & DOUBLE SUNDAY TIMES NO.1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR
Sophie McCartney is a stand-up comedian, podcaster and double No 1 Sunday Times bestselling author.
Since propelling into internet stardom in 2017 for her hilarious comedy sketches and parodies as ‘Tired and Tested’, Sophie has rolled out from her living room to filling theatres with her riotous and hilarious stand-up comedy shows across the world. Sophie is loved for her down-to-earth, no holds-barred approach to parenting and life as a millennial. Sophie is a rising star on the UK comedy circuit and a Funny Women award-winner for Best Comedy Series, she is also the author of two Sunday Times Number One bestsellers.
Sophie announced her debut stand up tour ‘Tired and Tested’ in March 2023 which sold out in less that 24 hours, making it Live Nation’s fastest selling debut tour for a female comedian…ever. Due to extraordinary demand, the tour was extended from 15 dates to 69 dates across the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Sophie is host of her own podcast, Tired and Tested, which flew into number 5 of the UK comedy charts on release and has been dubbed Mother & Baby’s number one podcast.
Her current tour ‘One Foot in the Rave’ has been praised by publications such as The Guardian, Daily Mail and Daily Mirror to name just a few.
Following on from the incredible success of Mother Hens, she is currently penning her second fiction novel which is due to be published early 2026.
