About

Emmanuel Sonubi

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”! Having gone from open spot to hosting BBC’s “Live at the Apollo” in an incredibly short space of time, you will be seeing big things from this big man in the coming few years.

“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

His comedy career only started at the end of 2015 and has since become a regular favourite at the Comedy Store London, the Mecca of the UK comedy circuit. He has gone on to perform at many of the largest clubs in the UK and festivals, including Just for Laughs in Montreal, Altitude Comedy Festival in Austria, The International Comedy Festival in Rotterdam, Comedy Central Live, Download, Otherlands, Kendall Calling, Tramlines, Y-Not, Truck Fest and has performed at the Glastonbury Festival in 2022 and 2023, to name a few.

“The bloke has got funny bones, He’s incredibly likeable.. despite looking like he could snap you in two!” – Romesh Ranganathan

You may have also caught him gigging in Holland, Ibiza, Cyprus, Malta, Turkey, Dubai & Iraq or on his first European city tour in Autumn 2022 performing in Brussels, Paris Amsterdam, Prague, Copenhagen, Stockholm & Helsinki. He also loves a cruise!

“Emmanuel is incredibly funny and I’m not just saying that because I’m scared of him” – Joel Dommett
