Emmanuel Sonubi is an award winning stand up comedian , TV personality, presenter, actor and writer. He is one of the UK’s most in-demand comedians, whose rise through the UK comedy scene has been rapid and widely celebrated.

You may have also seen him on QI, Celebrity Mastermind, The John Bishop Show, Comedy Central Live, Pointless Celebrities, Have I got News for you, Unforgiveable, The Stand Up Sketch Show + more.

The show runs from 7th to 19th April playing at the Melbourne Town Hall,  In Life After Near Death, Emmanuel recounts surviving heart failure — and living to tell the tale. A deeply personal, refreshingly honest and outrageously funny take on life, facing the cause of trauma and finding unexpected comedy in the toughest moments. One of the UK’s most in-demand comedians, Emmanuel Sonubi seamlessly blends earnest stories and big laughs, with an unstoppable energy and razor-sharp wit. Don’t miss your chance to see this masterclass live in Melbourne!  We chat about being a bouncer and the reason why he left, nearly dying and health journey, never having a bad gig, unique start to comedy, speaking up and not arguing, quitting entertainment and why he came, writing joke journals for his kids, doing an hour set with 20 minutes material, not lying, envy plus plenty more!
