Emmanuel Sonubi has only been on the comedy circuit for what feels like five minutes and he’s already garnering himself a reputation as the ‘one to watch’.
From starting out as an open spot, Emmanuel Sonubi has now headlined BBC’s Live at the Apollo, giving us great insight into what big things this man will do in the near future.
“One of my favourite discoveries of the year was Emmanuel Sonubi. Hilarious, warm and unique. If you don’t see him now for a tenner, you won’t be able to smugly tell your mates about it when they’re paying £50 for a crap seat at the O2” – Jason Manford
Hailing from North London, Emmanuel Sonubi was brought up as the youngest of six siblings and his Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated show provides a deep look into his life and how being surrounded by five older sisters has shaped him to become who he is today.
“The bloke has got funny bones. He’s incredibly likeable despite looking like he could snap you in two” – Romesh Ranganathan
“Emmanuel is so incredibly funny, and I’m not just saying that because I’m scared of him” – Joel Dommett
In his “Emancipated” work, he reflects on his days as a doorman in some of the most intimidating nightclubs in London, as well as his endeavours in musical theatre and being a parent to two young children. His comedic narration helps us gain insight into the various episodes that helped form how he thinks and feels currently.
Tickets are £15 when ordered online, in advance. Or £18 at the door if still available
