London based Emmanuel Sonubi has only been on the comedy circuit for what feel like five minutes and he’s already garnering himself a reputation as one to watch out for! Having gone from open spot to headline act in an incredibly short space of time.
"One of my favourite discoveries of 2019 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
Since 2015 he has performed at numerous high profile clubs including: The Glee Club, Komedia, Just The Tonic, Off The Kerb, Comedy Loft, The Comedy Café, Top Secret Club, Butlin’s Weekenders, The International Comedy Festival in Rotterdam, Altitude Comedy Festival.
Emmanuel has racked up an impressive list of TV credits. He’s been seen on Live at the Apollo (BBC), QI (BBC Two), Have I Got News For You (BBC One), The John Bishop Show (ITV), Celebrity Mastermind (BBC Two) Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled (Dave), Comedy Central Live (Comedy Central UK), The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV2), The Hitlist (ITV) and Pointless Celebrities (BBC One).
You would have also caught him gigging in Ibiza, Cyprus, Turkey, Dubai & Holland!
“.. Emmanuel is incredibly funny and I’m not just saying that because I’m scared of him..”
- Joel Dommett
A regular favourite on the cruise ship circuit and at the Comedy Store in London - he is often booked out nearly a year in advance.
His powerful stage presence and fresh material continue to win over audiences and producers alike.
A hit at the Edinburgh Fringe with back-to-back nominations for Best Newcomer and Best Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. Emmanuel’s profile continues to rise both in the UK and internationally, with a global tour under his belt and a sitcom currently in development.
