Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee and Best Show nominee, Emmanuel Sonubi is back on tour after sold-out performances at the Edinburgh Fringe, his European Tour, and his hit New York Soho Theatre run. Emmanuel’s hilarious and heartfelt show explores his life after surviving heart failure, facing the cause of the trauma, and the strange and funny ways we all find to keep going when life gets hard. It’s about turning life’s toughest moments into comedy gold, finding the laughs in survival and the punchlines in perseverance.

One of the UK’s most in-demand comedians, Sonubi is a powerhouse on stage, delivering unstoppable energy, razor-sharp wit, and stories that hit hard as he can and still land even harder. Come and see for yourself… (and bring your glasses).
