Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee and Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Show nominee, Emmanuel Sonubi returns to Guernsey.
Fresh from sold-out performances at the Melbourne and Sydney Comedy Festivals in 2025 and Edinburgh Fringe, his European Tour, and a hit New York Soho Theatre run. Emmanuel’s hilarious and heartfelt show explores his eyesight and life after surviving heart failure. Facing the cause of the trauma and the strange, funny ways we all find to keep going when life gets hard. It’s about turning life’s toughest moments into comedy gold, finding the laughs in survival and the punchlines in perseverance.
One of the UK’s most in-demand comedians, Sonubi is a powerhouse on stage, delivering unstoppable energy, razor-sharp wit, and stories that hit hard as he can and still land even harder.
“A natural, this stand-up is going to be big!” - The Times (UK)
“Big laughs, engaging tales, you’re seduced by the easy authority of his storytelling" - The Guardian (UK)

Warming up the audience on the night is Sophie Duncan with a selection of her comedy songs. Sophie says: "I once wrote a jokey song about climate change for a competition and was told I’d ‘totally missed the point’. Anyway, Jack McGahy from Band Wagon let me play it to an audience at St James and from then on, I’ve been into comedy. I do more serious songs too, but I love turning my weird thoughts and happenings into music. Since coming back from doing teacher training in the UK, I’ve got back into it at The Vault with ‘The Improbable Comedy Jam’ and I’m excited to be playing back where it all started!"
