Sophie Willan was born on 21 October 1987, in Bolton where she grew up, and spent time in care as a child, as her mother was a heroin addict.
She later worked as an escort to fund her arts career.
Willan began her arts career in theatre, founding feminist theatre/cabaret group Eggs Collective.
Willan's stand up takes inspiration from her unusual life experiences.
In 2015 she won the Magners New Comedian of the Year award.
In 2015, Willan secured funding of over £100,000 to create the multi-platform literary project Stories of Care, creating and curating short stories written by fellow care leavers.
The project recruited care leavers across the North West England to take part in the creation of a published children's anthology for looked-after children.
In 2016 she took her debut stand-up series On Record, based on her experiences of growing up in and out of the care system, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
A nationwide tour followed in 2017, including 10 dates at London's Soho Theatre and a commission to adapt the show into a BBC Radio 4 series, with a second series being greenlit.

In 2020 Willan's sitcom Alma's Not Normal was commissioned for a full series by BBC Two, to be released in 2021, following the success of the pilot.
The Mirror called it ‘Phoenix Nights meets Fleabag, guided by the spirit of Victoria Wood’; The Times said, ‘Willan's writing is skilled and clearly very personal...uplifting and strangely enchanting’.
In 2023, Willan appeared as Maeve in the second series of BBC One prison drama Time.
In 2024, it was confirmed that Willan will appear as one of five contestants on the seventeenth series of the UK TV series Taskmaster.
