Sophie Santos grew up in locations around the country, moving from Kansas to Alabama and eventually New York City, where she hosts "The Lesbian Agenda," a satirical comedy show that she plans to take on the road to further her agenda. In 2021, Santos voiced roles in two Audible Original podcast series, Hit Job starring Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer, and Hot White Heist starring Bowen Yang, Alan Cumming and Cynthia Nixon. Santos has just written her first book, a memoir called "The One You Want To Marry (And Other Identities I've Had)," and celebrates the book launch Oct. 1 at Brooklyn's Union Hall  in conversation with comedian and actor Aaron Jackson. Santos talked with me about coming out as a lesbian first, and later as a comedian, finding her way and her voice. She also shared stories about working on the dating show, Blind Date, as well as taking her two-person musical parody show, "Riverdale Live," to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  If you like this conversation, please consider subscribing to my Substack called Piffany at Piffany.Substack.com so you can read bonus commentary on this episode as well as more comedy news and insights.
