Surprise!!! We could not pass up the opportunity to share a little holiday cheer with this mini-episode. We first got to know Sophie Buddle at the 2022 Moontower JFL festival earlier this year and we jumped at the chance to catch up with her during her much deserved break from touring the U.S. over the last 8 months.
Buddle hails from Canada and only about a year ago made the transfer to the U.S. (you can hear the elaborate work involved by checking out our original episode with her). Having started comedy in her teens, Buddle was well-versed in performing to Canadian audiences. After landing in Los Angeles, Buddle set to touring the U.S. in earnest and learned many valuable lessons — including how to get herself lost in the Mall of the Americas in Minnesota and how U.S. audiences differ from Canadian audiences.
When not pontificating on the merits of artificial vs. real Christmas trees or the origins of vinegar, Buddle is on a quest to find the best Mexican food. We think her New Year’s destination in Austin should provide ample opportunity to meet that quest.
Yes, you read that right, Buddle will be in Austin over New Year’s weekend! We encourage you to celebrate your New Year’s eve weekend with Buddle (and her boyfriend and fellow comic Mayce Galoni) while she headlines the Red Room at Cap City Comedy Club on December 30 and 31st. In addition to being a fantastic comic for us to watch at Moontower JFL this spring, we know that you’ll love seeing her perform in one of the best rooms for comedy in town.
What’s in store for Buddle in 2023? Stay tuned, but we’ll get to see her shine on our TV screens for her debut Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon appearance. There may be more in store in 2023 for Buddle, but for now, let’s focus on a proper Austin welcome over New Year’s Eve weekend to one of our favorite Canadians who now make the U.S home.
