Dave's Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer nominee Emmanuel Sonubi is going on his first stand-up tour.

Dates have been announced for Emancipated to travel England in spring 2023, with tickets on sale today, Friday 11th November.

Starting on 11th April in Maidenhead, it is currently set to end on 31st May in Barnard Castle.

Promoters say: "Emmanuel Sonubi was born and raised in North London and Emancipated looks at many of the elements of his life such as being raised the only boy and the youngest of six children (that's right - 5 older sisters). We find out that looks can be very deceptive and about what has led him to become the person that he is today.

"Emancipated also covers Emmanuel's 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. Through his hilarious storytelling, we look deeper into all the experiences that shaped his personality and opinions today as he describes how after many years of conforming to various environments, he decided to step away from both the left and the right, freeing himself from the stress that comes with it. This is an hour not to be missed from one of the UK's fastest rising comedians."

Emmanuel Sonubi said: "The last few years have seemed to fly by. From open spot, to closing Live at the Apollo... and now I'm about to go on my first solo tour. Get your name on the list!"
