Stand-up comedian Emmanuel Sonubi will bring his award-winning show Emmancipated to The Phoenix Theatre and Arts Centre in Bordon on May 3 at 7.30pm. 

Emmanuel is well known to television viewers for his appearances on The John Bishop Show, The Stand-Up Sketch Show and Comedy Central Live.

Emmancipated looks at many elements of his life, including the challenge of being raised as the only boy in his family – with five older sisters!

It also covers his time as a doorman in some of the scariest clubs in London, his career in musical theatre, and life as a parent to two young children.

A Phoenix spokesperson said: “He explores all the experiences that shaped him into the man he is today through brilliant comedic timing and hilarious storytelling. He has only been on the comedy circuit for what feels like five minutes and he’s already garnering himself a reputation as the one to watch.”
