Having had a fantastic 12 months playing to sell out crowds at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe and some dates in Australia, 2022’s Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee EMMANUEL SONUBI will be embarking on his biggest UK tour to date. Emmanuel presents a whistle stop tour through all of his jobs that have led him to become one of the hottest stand-up comics on the circuit in brand new show, Emmanuel Sonubi: Curriculum Vitae.
Kicking off in Leeds on 10th April, Emmanuel will travel across the UK pulling into Cardiff Glee on Wednesday 17th April.
London based Emmanuel’s career in Comedy started only a few years ago and quickly grew from strength to strength earning himself a reputation as “one to watch out for”. A regular favourite on the live comedy circuit, he has become one of the most sought after acts working today. Emmanuel’s credits continue to grow as does his popularity with audiences around the world.
We caught up with Emmanuel recently, fresh off the back of his Australian dates to chat about the new show and his love for the Glee Club in Cardiff. Success has been pretty instant for Emmanuel, so we began the interview by asking him how he copes with this sudden and constant attention.
This brand-new show takes us through a hilarious and heartfelt story that explores all the jobs that Emmanuel has had before becoming a comedian and how those experiences helped shape his comedic voice. Recently seen on QI, Alan Davies As Yet Untitled, Apprentice ‘You’re Fired’ and headlined Live at the Apollo. Emmanuel’s 2022 show Emancipated sold out and was a Fringe smash-hit, and this is already shaping up to be a show not to miss.
This show takes the audience on a hilarious and sometimes poignant journey through a variety of jobs and industries many of which, he was wildly unqualified to do. From working in IT to the doors of London’s nightlife, all this while building up an impressive list of Musical Theatre credit.
Emmanuel told us……
“I am looking forward to getting back on the road with this new show. Last year was amazing with Emancipated, but this time I’ll be back with a bigger show and a few surprises along the way. Thank you to everyone that came out to see me last year, I can’t wait to see you all again.”
EMMANUEL SONUBI gets to the Glee Club in Cardiff on Wednesday 17th April. Tickets for that, and all others on his tour are available HERE.
