2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Emmanuel Sonubi: Emancipated
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 out for, having gone from open spot to closing BBC's Live At The Apollo in an incredibly short space of time. He has also performed at many of the largest clubs and festivals across Europe. He made his TV debut on Comedy Central UK and was recently on The John Bishop Show for ITV1 and The Stand Up Sketch Show on ITV2. 'The bloke has got funny bones' (Romesh Ranganathan).
