Sonya Mathews

Sonya is a wordsmith and standup comedian. 

Trained as a linguist and an educator, and obsessed with comedy, they share standup clips, deep dives into how language really works, and general nonsense with a nerdy twist.

Expect sharp jokes about current affairs, nerdy puns, and observational humor about being midlife, misfit and misplaced. There will be occasional word crimes and learnification, as well as excerpts from The Comic’s Wordbook — a collection of sharp, cynical definitions for the language of today.  Definitions of words like "snowflake," "vibes," "apology tour," and "gamification" that have all been taken from stand-up material and stage work. The Comic's Wordbook is not for people who trust language; it’s for people who side-eye it.
