Two-time Edinburgh award nominee Emmanuel Sonubi will be heading back on tour with his new show Emmanuel Sonubi: Life After Near Death – coming to Maidenhead in November.
Following a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, an acclaimed European tour, and a New York Soho Theatre residency, Sonubi is back on the road with his latest show, Life After Near Death.
Emmanuel’s latest show is a ‘deeply personal yet hilariously sharp’ exploration of what happens when life throws its toughest challenges your way.
After surviving heart failure, Emmanuel takes audiences on a rollercoaster ride through his journey of recovery, resilience, and the moments of comedy that emerge even in life’s darkest corners.
With his signature storytelling style, sharp wit, and stage presence, Life After Near Death is about the power of perseverance and finding the funny in the unexpected.
As a London-born comedian Sonubi is known for his stage presence and relatable storytelling.
His comedic voice, shaped by his own experiences, secured him multiple nominations including the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer in 2022 and Best Show in 2023, as well as the Chortle Award for Best Club Comedian in 2023.
Sonubi has headlined BBC's Live at the Apollo and appeared on QI and Have I Got News for You.
He will next be seen in the forthcoming shows The Hitlist (BBC), Silence is Golden (U&Dave) and Richard Osmond’s House of Games.
Sonubi said: “Life After Near Death is a special one for me – it’s personal, it’s raw, but most importantly, it’s funny.
“After an amazing time at the Edinburgh Fringe, across Europe, and in New York, I’m buzzing to take this to audiences across the UK. Get ready for big laughs and a few surprises along the way.”
Emmanuel Sonubi: Life After Near Death is set to come to Norden Farm in Maidenhead on Saturday, November 29.
