“Big laughs, engaging tales, you’re seduced by the easy authority of his storytelling”

Guardian

“A natural, this stand-up is going to be big!” ★★★★

The Times

“This man has funny bones” ★★★★

Evening Standard

"One of my favourite discoveries of the year, was Emmanuel Sonubi. Hilarious, warm and unique. If you don't see him now for a tenner, you won't be able to smugly tell your mates about it when they're paying £50 for a crap seat at the O2"

Jason Manford

"The bloke has got funny bones"

Romesh Ranganathan

“Side-splittingly funny. Roaring laughs”
