Emmanuel Sonubi

Emmanuel Sonubi is a London-based comedian whose ascent
in the comedy world has been nothing short of meteoric. From
his debut in 2015, he quickly transitioned from open mic nights
to headlining prestigious stages, including hosting BBC's *Live at
the Apollo*. His commanding presence and sharp wit have
earned him nominations for the Edinburgh Comedy Award for
Best Show (2023) and Best Newcomer (2022), as well as a
Chortle Award nomination for Best Club Comic (2023) along
with the Mervyn Stutters Spirit of the fringe award for best show
2025.
Sonubi's comedy is deeply rooted in his experiences. Raised in
North London as the youngest of six children, he draws from his
upbringing and his time working as a bouncer in some of the
city's most notorious clubs. These influences shape his
storytelling, blending humor with authenticity.
