Emmanuel Sonubi survived heart failure and lived to… write a show about it!

Following a sold-out run at the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, UK comedy powerhouse and two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee returns to Melbourne with an hilarious and heartfelt show. A deeply personal, refreshingly honest and outrageously funny take on life after surviving heart failure, facing the cause of trauma and finding unexpected comedy in life's toughest moments.

One of the UK’s most in-demand comedians, Emmanuel Sonubi seamlessly blends earnest stories and big laughs, with an unstoppable energy and razor-sharp wit. Don’t miss your chance to see this masterclass live in Melbourne!
