ABOUT THE SPECIAL
Sophie Hughes is trans. It’s adorable. Let’s talk about it, no? But don’t worry, her mix of personal anecdotes, absurd observations, and good old fashioned punchlines will defy even the grouchiest of grumps not to laugh. With over 20 years in comedy, Sophie can connect with audiences both on serious and lighthearted topics because she is an unstoppable force of likability. A full-blown sociable tsunami, when Sophie's headed your way, and there’s nothing you can do but soak in the charm.
Filmed in Sophie's hometown of Boise and released by comedy label Howl & Roar Records, SUCCULENT brings a sharp, honest, and hilarious perspective to stories about identity, resilience, and connection.
Produced by Marina Wool
ABOUT THE RELEASE PARTY+FUNDRAISER
The evening will feature two screenings of the special at 6:30 PM and 8:00 PM at The Station (1212 W. Bannock Street, Boise), followed by an afterparty from 9:00–11:30 PM with music by Wren. Snacks, bar, and additional concessions will be available throughout the night.
This event is a fundraiser for the Idaho Familias Assistance Fund, which provides direct financial assistance to Idaho families impacted by immigration enforcement—helping cover essentials like rent, groceries, childcare, and legal support. Your ticket helps us celebrate local comedy while contributing to an important community cause.
Come watch the special, celebrate Boise comedy, and stick around for the party!
