I have no idea what I’m doing.
I booked these dates ages ago and I need to fill them now.
This is a work-in-progress. Some A/B testing. With 2 nights only, we’ll see what the audience likes.
Why do ducks make the sound they do? Are Egyptian Geese ducks or geese?
QUACK! and other stories is a new comedy show by Sophie Joans. Expect songs and sketches, clown and… ducks.
Each night will include a new celebrity guest.
This is not a stand-up show.
Sophie Joans is a clown, comedian, theatre-maker and trouble-maker with a passion for live performance. Her debut solo show, ÎLE, received enormous acclaim, both at home and internationally, winning the Gold Standard Bank Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival in 2022 and was one of 5 nominees for the Filipa Bragança Award for Best Solo Female Performers at Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 (out of 3800 shows). She’s played Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Maynardville, and The Imp in Brett Bailey’s Summer Night’s Dream. She co-wrote & performed in puppet show, Ka-Boom, which was awarded UNIMA SA’s Incubation Prize. Her two clown shows AÏo (directed by Aldo Brincat) and ÜÜÜ (directed by Rob Van Vuuren), were experimental. That’s all she’ll say about that. When she’s not performing, Sophie loves teaching and regularly teaches storytelling, clown and writing.
Her new show NETPHLIX won an Ovation Award at NAF 2025 and toured around the country and world. This year she also released her first stand-up special, Sophie Joans is a Real Comedian.
