Information
After sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and a hit run in New York, Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Emmanuel Sonubi returns to Australia with a powerful, laugh-out-loud stand-up show.
“Life After Near Death" dives into Emmanuel's personal journey of surviving heart failure, and the strange, funny, and ultimately uplifting ways we cope when life throws us the unimaginable. With unstoppable energy, razor-sharp wit, and deeply honest storytelling, Emmanuel turns trauma into triumph and hardship into humour.
This is more than just comedy—it’s a celebration of resilience, survival, and finding joy in the most unexpected places.
Praise for Emmanuel Sonubi:

"Big laughs, engaging tales… you're seduced by the easy authority of his storytelling." – The Guardian (UK)
